Labour to raise dividend tax from 7.5% to 20%
Revoking A50 was the draw for me Revoking A50 was the draw for me Agreed. I actually voted leave back when TTIP was a promising threat. The main reason I voted leave was I didn't want to be so cosy with US. We're over three years down the line and looking like we're getting firmly in bed with...- captcavey

Professional day - How many hours?
Update Update Having spoken to the contract manager and expressed how the contract was worded differently when it came to the signing of the contract to that which was talked about we now have Thursday's off in lieu. Goes to show that, although a contract is signed, you can still negotiate to...- captcavey

Professional day - How many hours?
I dispute that as the flights and leaving airport were stipulated by the company. If I were being "fair" then I could say "it normally takes me x-amount of time to get to the London based office ergo I will subtract that from the total time I'm with you" (although I think they'd look at me funny...- captcavey

Professional day - How many hours?
As long as you are averaging about 8 hours a day then all good but if they did 8, 19, 16, 8, 12 You'd say a hard "no" to that. I wanted to check as I am new to this game. I think that's probably showing though! :happy- captcavey

Professional day - How many hours?
So... to wrestle this back a bit... If a contract states "Professional Working Day" then it is fair to say your expectation is an 8-hour day (or there abouts) but not necessarily with a pre-defined start time. You might have to start at 08:00, you might have to start at 09:00, maybe at 10:00...- captcavey

Professional day - How many hours?
I need to be clear - the contract states "professional working hours" which I agreed to. To then be kept working (we were working in another country so I couldn't just go home) for 19 hours was a bit of a shock. We got the work done but I was exhausted after. Like I say, lessons have been learnt ;)- captcavey

Professional day - How many hours?
I'll be going back in tomorrow to discuss the contract. The fact the "professional working day" was in there was questioned but it was 'sold' to us as we would have Thursday off if the other days were long days but paid for that day off (essentially a day in lieu). That has not been filtered...- captcavey

Professional day - How many hours?
19 hour day? 19 hour day? So, I signed up to a PWD contract getting a day rate. IMO a PWD is around the 8 hour mark but I'm not holding a stopwatch to check on the time! This contract I just started had us in for an 8 hour induction day followed the next day (Friday) by a 19hr day (contract...- captcavey
