Other contractors at client working with no contract

[BlasterBates]

It's fairly normal to not have the paperwork sorted out and it's also fairly normal to get paid a bit late from time to time.

If you get worked up and walk off site everytime it happens you're just going to lose revenue and pee off the client.

Yes, but they are never going to do that because if they put it in an email they are effectively signing it off. If your local team manager were to do that he is likely to get in trouble with the senior folk for over committing on behalf of the company.

I wouldn't worry too much. Look at it this way. If you don't turn up for a few days while they sort it out you won't invoice anything.

Don't get me wrong - I 100% agree with your point in princple and I used to get worked up over late renewals. However, I realised it was winding me up and it was easier to change the way I thought about it rather than try and change the system.

I just see it as a risk that is part of contracting.

Yeh. It is a risk.

And just to clarify - its the agent who I wait for email from. After all, contract is with them. If they wish to email me on the basis of whoever they speak to at client thats they're risk.

We're not talking about paperwork. We're talking about confirmation. Paperwork can come later.....

I still think you're on dodgy territory continuing to go in when nothing has been sorted...

Bummer to lose revenue but you gotta to refuse to take it up the arse at some point....
