Large Scottish bank

Can anyone confirm this for me... isn't it the case that they aren't obliged to provide work to do, even inside a notice period? So whether it's actually 7 days or not doesn't make a difference?

If there is no work that needs doing then they don't have to provide you with any and even if there is you can refuse to accept it.

Most companies aren't that tulipty though. So they either pay then notice period, interpreting it as a penalty clause in the contract, or ensure you have work that fills most, but not necessarily all, of those 7 days.

Whew!

Nearly accepted an offer from them - chose a smaller Bank in the end with similar rate.

Now better off!

Is this RBS in bishopsgate? Were they paying contractors generously?

Wasnt there a scandal last year where day rates were leaked and people were getting 1200 a day etc...

What are Java / C sharp devs with finance knowledge getting in RBS before and after the rate cut?

Barclays have done this recently -

Dunno, I'm not a code monkey

If you are on £1200 a day then a 10% cut would be acceptable. Never heard of such high rates though, I must be a code monkey!
