Downtime

[yellow]

What does one do when waiting on a project manager or fellow worker to allocate work?

Peronsally I feel a bit guilty when there are a couple of days (even hours) of downtime during a project, I chase people up but what more can you do?

Would the most altruistic thing be to go home and not charge for the day?

That would kill any IR35 issues you had.

Or you could try to beat Zeities post count.

In this gig I've went home.

I've tagged that day onto the end of my contract, so they're paying me for my deliverables as opposed to my wasted time.

COurse, then there are the other days when I've only had a tiny bit to do...thats when I post on here

Offer to do some testing/bug fixing/documentation i.e. go look for something to do which will make life easier for others. If there isn't anything productive you can do you should go home and not charge for the time.
