    As PC would say, it's the beginning of a worrying trend ...

    Errm, Your Company should be billing them for the hours you do for your company. End of.

    So they want something done this weekend. No worries we'll just add it to TOIL I say.

    Manager says its ok you came in late today so we'll call it quits....

    Unbelievable. Contract says 7.5 hours a day. I rarely do less than 8 and they get this for free.

    Anything I have to do remotely from home, or weekends goes as TOIL.... but looks like this cheeky git is canning this now!

    Fair play to him for maximising contractor resources for free (or at least trying to!)
