Working extra hours / days

[northernladuk]

we have started ignoring local candinates, ones that come Monday to Friday work longer hours

Jesus, you don't half talk some crap. I would hate to work there if even the slightest thing you say is actually in effect there.

No one has refused an extension yet !!! perhaps its your old school attitude to contracting, you need to get with the times man.

Contractors that work within 1 to 2 hours commute always have to go home by 6pm, ones with hotels or flats can work later earning cash to go home early on a Friday and spend it

You pay your contractors by the hour? So basically you promote slow working and the drawing out of a day, just to earn a little more cash?
Most businesses realise they're better off trying to get people to work as efficiently as possible, not to just turn up and sit at a desk for as long as possible.

Please let us all know where you work, so we can avoid it.

Depends if you pay them for the extra hours or not....

Can imagine the contractors at taberas place thinking lets drag this out for 10 hours a day cos I might as well and I can rinse this client for some wonga, only going to sit in hotel on my tod so might as well stay here surfing the web.

Maybe they're not the dull ones after all.

Yes all overtime paid, No one takes the Pi$$, projects are delevered on time on Budget, people work without whinging when required, contractors can go home on a thursday if tasks are complete. Contractors can have days off when they say as long as its outwith the times ive communicated to them before they start (go live's etc) - i dont think its to bad

So, basically you employ a load of permies at a vastly increased cost to the business?

If I was working away from home, and the client effectively said that I could either stop work and go sit in my hotel, or stay there and charge for sitting around in the office, I'm sure I could find a way to stretch out the day somehow.

If you are paying by the professional working day and are expecting a long day every day, then that's a different matter, but paying grunts to sit around by the hour I have no issue with.

What are they doing? Sewing mailbags or something? I'm not convinced working longer hours does what you think it does.
