    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.

        Core hours required a presence unfortunately. However as it worked out I was getting paid 5 days and only working 4.

          I think the term 'flexi' is a bit misleading in that case.

            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.

              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.

                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?

                  I like people who know when to use a comma or semi-colon rather than an abrupt full stop mid sentence.

                    That was correct English you miscreant, I paused for inflection.

                      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.
