Why don't I see the normal working hours on my contract?

Me personally my hours average out over the week if I need a bit of flexibility or time off. I am in though most days 9:30-17:30 for BAU stuff as well as project work. Have the option for TOIL (unofficially) if I have to work a weekend day or I can bill for it and up the weekly invoice.

When I say TOIL, I will work the weekend day and take a day off midweek and bill it as in attendance. Me though, I plan my stuff so dont have to take time off.

SHall i state that I want my contract to state 7.5 hours per working day?

Does your contract not state how many hours per week? It normally states one or the other

I've never had that. Contract is based on the basis of a professional working day. No hours specified, no days specified. Which is how it should be.

Exactly. I'm just waiting for a future client to tell me they want 2 meeetings per day. One at 7am, one at 7pm

I had that similar thing once. Client asked us to cover 6am to 10pm. Meant 6am-2pm for some, 2pm-10pm for others. Didnt bother me that much although 6am was early.

Then they'd arrange meetings at 6pm and try and say everyone had to attend - even those who'd been in at 6am.

I wasn't popular when I tried to explain that I'd been flexible enough to come in early because they asked but dont then take the piss.

Dont like doing this TOIL thing. I've had it and it gets a bit messy.
