I understand that you should not start a contract until you have the actual contract paperwork in place but how realistic is this all the time? I've already had one contract where they wanted somene so short notice I started and the contract was finalised by my 3rd day on the job. (I had seen the contract before I started and signed it from my side.)
How when the client has a start date of say Monday, if the contract is not setup completely by the time Monday comes how do you just not turn up if the client is expecting you? What if you don't know the cleints details to let them know and I imagine they would not be too impressed if you told them anyhow which may make them worry before you have even started and obvioulsy you can't rely on the agent letting them know the situation.
I can understand how people do just start even though they maybe shouldn't.
