The only thing you have is a contract and if you sign it without understanding it - the majority of people posting here use professional reviewers - then you are screwed."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Originally posted by chopper View PostContracting isn't (supposed to be) a worker to employer relationship, it is a business to business relationship. As such, the notion of employment rights or regulatory bodies doesn't really apply. It is more akin to a business asking Cap Gemini/IBM/Accenture/ECS/Mitie/Unisys/Dynorod/KPMG to provide people to deliver a one-off objective. The difference is it is you as a freelancer rather than a great big massive corporate ****.
