    At least this shows the agent can use a calculator

    £220 x 50 weeks x 5 days per week = £55K.

    And you just need to extend the year to 57 weeks and you get over £62K

            Could it be a cash strapped client or a greedy agent pocketing half the rate?

              Actually the take home pay will be much more then 52K So the agent does have a point !

                Nah, you forgot VAT

                £55K x 1.2 = £66K

                Take another 2 weeks off, you've earned it

                It totally works this way

                    Was there a crackly phone line, a bit of satellite delay in the call perhaps...
