Originally posted by Slumdog View PostYour contract start date keeps getting pushed back (got the gig 5 weeks ago) and now you are asked to work without a contract in place. As much as I think this may be OK(in contract arriving soon) would any fellow contractors take the risk?
Has anyone experienced this?
Nope! Indications are budget may not be signed off. Ergo, do the work and may not get paid.I couldn't give two fornicators! Yes, really!
