Hi Guys,
Just a quick one - i've done 2 x 1 year stints at a particular client through one agency - never having received a rate rise, despite asking a number of times.
Now, the client wants to cut the cost of my contract as it's prepared to offer a 6 monther and wants a discount, but my agency wont take the hit.
Now - for arguments sake - i'm on 130 rupees a day, and the client pays the agent 175 - in reality they have about a 12% margin.
If they say that they cant afford to do it any lower due to their overheads - where do i stand regarding any clauses in my contract? SUrely if they cant go that low, but I can - they can;t restrict me from working? It's not like they didnt have the chance to continue the business?
For what its worth i've not actually signed my contract with the clause in it, but the client may well have signed his with the agency (would it have the same clause in it?).
Cheers,
Dante
