Use the search on top right corner. alternatively use google. I realise it might be a bit difficult for you so here you go.Originally posted by DodgyAgent View PostI do not normally deal with this as most contractors we place have arrangements in place.
So where on this site is a guide to opting in/out?
site:forums.contractoruk.com "Opt out"
copy the above line in google and hit enter.
If you still dont want to work it out, there is a sticky in Business/Contract section. I hope you know how to find a sticky.
Hope that helps.

You do now realise that;Originally posted by DodgyAgent View PostNotice I am ignoring the "cheap shots" about my stupidity and professionalism.

a) you have to check he is who he says
b) you have to pay him regardless of getting paid by the client
c) you can't put restrictions to stop him from working directly after about 8 weeks of the contract ending
