New Gig, Elan Gestapo interrogation

[scorchio]

Elan also made me apply for a Disclosure certificate (Cost of £20) for the gig that I'm on.

Me too, but considering the contract I'm working on, sort of understandable.

Also not had any problems getting paid on time by them, quite unnerving really...

How've you managed that? I take it you're not going through the Solihull office

Altrincham...also use their skillstream system for timesheets and expenses.

Is that the system that you get to when you logon to the portal (not having a logon I wouldn't know)?

Nah..it's an internet based bt-elan application.

what ... ALL the details of every conviction I have. They wont like it.

Why not ask Elan to send you a disclosure for all their staff before you send over all the info needed to clone your identity. How do you know that there isn't somebody there harvesting all the info as it comes in, complete with all the background ifo such as working history and education details.

Are any of you guys who are working for Elan/BT due for renewal soon?

Me and the other contractors I work with are and when we've all asked for a rate rise(a well deserved one we think). We've been told that BT have put a rate freeze in place and there's no chance.

I know the current climate isn't that good but I aren't buying it and has anyone else been fed this line?
