The last gig I did had flexi-time in operation and that applied to me although I was on a daily rate. Turned up at 6am every morning and left between 5-6pm. Extra hours worked added up to paid days off.

I think, the wise man would have come in really late, and could leave when they chose as everyone would've left by then.Originally posted by Cliphead View PostThe last gig I did had flexi-time in operation and that applied to me although I was on a daily rate.

Core hours required a presence unfortunately. However as it worked out I was getting paid 5 days and only working 4.Originally posted by Charles Foster Kane View PostI think, the wise man would have come in really late, and could leave when they chose as everyone would've left by then.

I think the term 'flexi' is a bit misleading in that case.Originally posted by Cliphead View PostCore hours required a presence unfortunately. However as it worked out I was getting paid 5 days and only working 4.

I view this sort of thing as a give and take situation, I do my best to give a little more than I take.
Odds are this measure is being introduced because of one of 2 reasons:
1. People have been extracting the urine
2. An insecure and clueless manager has decided that bums on seats management makes him look like a decisive and effective manager rather than a complete tosser.
Repeated renewals is the net benefit of giving a little more than you take in my experience.Comment

I only got away with it because the boss who hired me was delighted with the work I was doing. It did help my case coming in so early that shortly after I started a major system failure happened before 7am when I was in the building (not instigated by me). No complaints after that.Originally posted by Charles Foster Kane View PostI think the term 'flexi' is a bit misleading in that case.Comment

OK, to complicate matters slightly I work @ End ClientA site, however my contract is with CompanyZ.
i.e End client pays CompanyZ for my services and then they pay me! Long winded I know ( outsourcing rubbish and all ).
So even though the "data" is the end clients ( in terms of security cards ) , I am not employed by them?? So would they not have to inform CompanyZ HR who have engaged my services of this situation?Comment

I like people who know when to use a comma or semi-colon rather than an abrupt full stop mid sentence.Originally posted by Charles Foster Kane View PostI like paragraphs. They help to segment long sentences into readable chunks.The cycle of life: born > learn > work > learn > dead.Comment

And another thing, your signature is wrong, the go to command has a space between it in Sinclair BASIC for a start. Wasn't going to mention it before you started being a pretentious cheesecake.Originally posted by chris79 View PostI like people who know when to use a comma or semi-colon rather than an abrupt full stop mid sentence.Comment
