Day Rate

[IR35 Avoider]

I will be having a telephone interview for a contract paying £320 p/d.
Since receiving the full job spec, it is mentioned that out of hours work may be required.

"Flexibility will be required to work out of normal hours to meet the demands of the service, whilst based at site some travel will be required to alternate sites."

How does being on day rate affect extra hours worked ?. Can i claim for overtime or will they try and get more work out of me for just the day rate.

I'm on a day rate. It just means that if I accidently work an extra half-hour (almost never happens) I don't get paid any extra and if I'm 15 minutes late in the morning (every second day) I don't get paid any less.

I don't have to work out of hours, but my contract does specify that I get paid extra if I'm ever asked to. (High hourly rate for any call-out work, time and a half if working on a weekend or bank holiday.)

After having the interview today, It turns out that they where talking about working weekends along side the monday to friday.

So it is just a 40 hour week, How long do these agencies take to get back to you after the interview ?

If you got the contract- as soon as they know themselves. If you flunked - never
