Signing on / salary during bench time

[Mich the Tester]

For tax purposes you are a disguised employee and must pay pay pay.

For benefits purposes you are a digusting capitalist director, oppressing hard-working families, and therefore entitled to nothing.

Enjoy.

disgusting middle class capitalist director

Must be accurate you know.

I think if things got really bad then I'd just take any old low-rate contract and keep paying myself the usual salary by tapping the reserves. At least the company would be getting some income, and I'd be working, and some of those low-paying gigs look really interesting - just not worth going for in normal circumstances.
