Client offers daily rate rise...

of £50 due to change in role (more work than originally planned) which I'm happy to accept. Does/should the pimp get any of this?

Regardless of whether the pimp does or not...


does the pimp now do more work than originally planned?

no!

Was the agent cut not part of the negotiation. Maybe the agent would have got you more? (DA - where are you?)

Depending on contract agent is probably due their cut. But everything is negotiable.

So does the client say to the pimp "Here's an extra £50 a day for SS" and the pimp passes it on, smiling politely as they do it?

Is that how it works?

Pimp not included in negotiations btw

Seems a bit much when they've done **** all to earn it.

The pimp should get all of it in order to help pay for the cheap champagne to celebrate the clients confidence in the contractor that he (the pimp) found in the first place

Same with property rental though. Rightly or wrongly.

The problem may be that the agent is passing onto you a fixed % of what they charge the client, therefore if your rate goes up and theirs doesn't you are effectively reducing their margin.

Part of their margin is used to factor the captial they have tied up by paying you before they get paid. This is now increasing and so therefore is their risk and exposure.

£50 per day * 20 days a month * 3 months is £3000 that is no longer in thier bank account.

Actually that's good point and was more or less what I was getting at. Watch this space......
