    I was as professional as I could be and said that: “for that rate I am not getting out of bed”

      To be fair I'm on a great rate and still get out of bed The joys of remote working. Just have to tape the camera up so don't accidently turn it on.

          that's an FTE/prem they want with a 2 month trial. Not a contractor.

          It's the 4th one down this list I reckon City of Bradford MDC (engageats.co.uk)
          but an agency is trying to get someone in.

              £50k public sector with presumably good benefits is absolutely not £30/h. They are taking the piss.

                      £30.10 x 37 hours x 45 weeks = £50,116.

                      So the gross is the same as the salary.

                      That is before umbrella costs.

                      That is before employer national insurance.

                      That is before benefits, mainly pension.

                      I make it out at about £40-42/h to be financially equal-ish. Some like and think there should be a premium on top of that due to the temporary nature of the role.
