How was he killed. Was it like thisOriginally posted by threaded View PostWhat's the betting the agency will stiff the family for his last months wages as he didn't turn in signed timesheets?
Would being in the custody of kidnappers be classed as working time? And if so, would they sign timesheets. Maybe that's why he got the chop. He asked for them to sign. A good contractor always gets his timesheets signed no matter what. At least there would be no expenses - until now. There'll be repatriation and funeral costs.
