ARGH.. Quick question..

[psychocandy]

It's a shambles..

I can't believe after saying I don't want to opt-out they've now rolled this in to the contract, its full of clauses basically cancelling out opt-in.. I'm not sure what they were hoping to achieve.. do they think I'm not going to read it?

Losing chargeable days isn't ideal.. but I'm not that desperate to rush through things, I don't especially like the agency telling me that I'm the one messing the client around etc, he knows its my first contract and I'm pretty sure he's thinking he can be pushy.

I will give the client a call tomorrow and explain if you guys think thats a wise move.. the interview went v.well, client is a good guy so I would like to ensure he knows whats going on.

Sign it to opt in then send letter withdrawing it to arrive the day you start. Will wind them up a treat.

The withdrawal is only effective from after the current contract expires.

Why would you want to opt in and then revoke that?

[Sausage Surprise]

How many people here would jeopardise, or even lose days billing over arguing over opt in/out?

Not me for one.

I need to get with the programme I think.
I have a quick scout through the contract for shockers, it's basically bollocks anyway and as long as its a big agency I know about I sign up and start the money machine going.
I don't give one about opting out or in.
I am not saying you are wrong I think I am probably too reckless and just haven't been stung yet !

You can withdraw an opt out if you haven't started the contract... The agency will probably tell you that this is not possible though and proceed as if you were opted out.
