    I am a supplier not a freelancer, as long as I get the work done I have to I don't worry about the hours, and neither does the Client. If your "boss" is clock watching your every move you have bigger problems than what your hourly rate works out as

        40 plus for current client. 50 plus for the last one.

        I tend to worry less about the hourly rate and more on the Daily.

                I've been offered a contract which states a 48 hour working week is this the norm now for IT work or are the agency trying to pull a fast one?

                This is only my second contract since leaving a permie role and my first contract is, what I thought was, a standard 40 hour week.

                The 48 hour a week contract pays more on a day rate but the days are going to be longer so it would actually be a pay cut based on rate per hour.

                What's the general consensus? Am I being precious and naive about the modern contracting world or is the agency trying to take me for a costly ride?

                So basically they want you to work the equivalent of a 6 day week ...and get paid for 5?

                  If you're a permie aren't you entitled to paid lunchbreak, or did I imagine that? i.e. a 40 hour week is actually 37.5 working hours + mandatory 30 minute paid lunchbreak...

                    If the contract says a minimum of 48 hours and is also more than 17 weeks, it's automatically in breach of the working time directive.

                      I always deduct my lunch break from my billed time.
