As I keep telling my agent Dodgy, when the agent pays, effectively the contractor has paid as the agents money is a sub set of the contractors money.Originally posted by DodgyAgentThe worse thing that has been done to me by a contractor was when the two of us took a couple of hookers to a hotel in London after a day on the piss.

that is what he said. But the same contract also says that I get 20% of everything he gets, only my contract should have said that my 20% comes firstOriginally posted by The Lone GunmanAs I keep telling my agent Dodgy, when the agent pays, effectively the contractor has paid as the agents money is a sub set of the contractors money.Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyoneComment

Get the contract right
I just dont want my 20% after he has already had his 80%. Anyway at his renewal the necessary adjustments were accordingly made to the contract. Once I had agreed not to show his girlfriend of the time the pictures, he in turn signed:Originally posted by IDBIn fairness he was doing exactly as the contract stated...

1. That I would get my 20% first, and that
2. If I wanted to exercise my option to take my 20% it would be contingent upon me being able to "get one up"
