Sounds great...

This is a difficult project. My advice is don't have arguments and don't get wound up. Easier said than done but it is possible, it's just a mental attitude of not taking it personally.

I would stay in the project and learn to put up with it. The big bucks are always going to be stressful...

Ignore, anyone can register your e-mail at any site they want to, the main thing is that they don't activate it. No harm done if the profile isn't activated no-one will know. I got on the wrong side of someone who ordered stuff to my address which I simply put back in the post box....

The fact that you haven't signed a counter fraud declaration won't make you...

What would be the difference between charging for 40 hours when you'd only worked 20 and this?:

So if you put in a false insurance claim why do they prosecute you?...

[BlasterBates]

Well that's exactly what the customers of the building company did.

Two clients walk into the police station and they both show timesheets with identical hours from the same person and the fact that they've both been billed for it.

What would they do then?

Perhaps...

[BlasterBates]

The seriousness of a fraud crime is dependent on how much you defrauded, not how many people you defrauded. If you earn double for the same amount of hours, that is 50 to 100 grand a year. Of course I take the point it is difficult to prove. But if you think this isn't serious go into a police station...

[BlasterBates]

Exactly, I think if you have a flexible contract and you can work on the contract in the evenings then go ahead. The occasional meeting during the day would be no problem....

Overcharging is not just a B2B dispute.

Sure for a few hours work no problem, but once this has gone on for a couple of years there are large sums...

[BlasterBates]

Agreeing to work 40 hours and only working 20 hours is a breach of contract, charging 40 hours and working 20 is fraud, as you're misleading the client. That's what I mean....

[BlasterBates]

As you pointed out you're not a legal expert so you don't really know. What I do know though is that it's fraud....

[BlasterBates]

As jamesbrown points out if they were to find out and you have overlapping timesheets then this moves into the realms of fraud/overcharging with all the potential unpleasant consequences, ie. being sued with a threat of criminal prosecution. An angry client could take you to the cleaners. For that reason...

[BlasterBates]

It was an "event" not a party.

Unfortunately for Andrew the other person in the photo is a sex trafficker. I think his chances are looking very bleak....

[BlasterBates]

If you have three contracts totalling 90 hours and you're working 90 hours no problem. It's up to you, that is perfectly legal and it doesn't matter if the clients found out. However there are some who work 40 hours and then charge two clients 80 hours. That is actually fraud so they could potentially...

[BlasterBates]

I would only point out not to double book. i.e. if your timesheets for both companies were to overlap, and both clients did find out you would be for the high jump. Other than that why not.

[BlasterBates]

oh hang on!

One of the benefits of Brexit is that the government can set its own rules and thereby reduce red tape....
