    Please draft your own Opt In Contract!

    I start a week on Monday and they may not accept a completely new contract structure with this timeframe. I'd rather send them a mark-up which deals with the key clauses. I see IPSE offer a contract review service but its a 5 working day turnaround You can pay extra for 24 hours service, does...

    Please draft your own Opt In Contract!

    Hi all, I recently landed a gig and have been supplied with a contract prior to being asked if I wanted to opt in / out of the 2003 Agency Conduct Regs. Having read the advice on this forum I have always opted In for all of my engagements. I have told the agency I want to Opt In and am used to...

    Dividends beyond £5k taxed wef 2016!!

    If you are in high rate threshold it works out at £2,400 extra income tax than you were paying under the old system. Not brilliant but could definitely be worse!

    Gin and Tonic Break Corner

    So I only bring this up as a Socio Work Politic thingy but if anyone in the workplace I currently resides has the right to indulge in the consumption of their drug of choice on an hourly basis without it seems any ramifications, why can't I have a G+T at the same intervals in a similarly...

    Facts about Feedback

    I'm interested to see if my experience of behaviour trending towards the fifth option is industry wide. Certainly seems to be having asked others. Please select your most common experience / average over your last 3 interviews

    I've had enough. The C4 has been attached and detonated......

    Thanks to everyone for the positive comments and support!:tumble: Anyway it turns out that the Pimp was the liar. Surprise! HR told me that the role had been filled by him with another candidate, directly and not via the MAGAGED SERVICE PROVIDER. So not, as I was told be him that the MAGAGED...

    I've had enough. The C4 has been attached and detonated......

    So yet another one. Primary agent very nice chap has been doing his best to get me in and being totally transparent. The MSP and the client on the other hand - all the standard behaviour. Manipulation, lies, “You are the primary candidate”…..”We will definitely give you a decision by the end of...

    UKIP: stop congestion, ban the jobless from driving

    My english teacher was American and voted Republican. That's why I can't spell my worms properly.

    UKIP: stop congestion, ban the jobless from driving

    All democracy's need a party to represent the moronic demographic. America has the Republicans, now we have UKIP. Sorted.

    UKIP: stop congestion, ban the jobless from driving

    Like the concept but the target is just too broad and rather unfair. The following groups would be my proposal - Anyone caught 2nd / 3rd lane hogging on motorways Guardian Readers Daily Mail Readers "Professionally Offended" people, Definition on request. Big Brother Fans Anyone who calls a...

    Are you one of the 70% who ARE NOT a "Hard working Family"

    Didn't realise an evening rant would spark such a debate and indeed a very good one! As a lifelong rebel to conformity I am resigned to being regarded by politicians and society as a whole as a social leper. What bugs me is the way that the collective momentum of politics/society/political...

    Are you one of the 70% who ARE NOT a "Hard working Family"

    True but we are getting a bit off beam on my angst - Defining a collective unit of 2 people living together as either hard working or not is ludicrous / subjective Politicians are full of s&*t At least 70% of the voting population are not part of a Hard working family. So what are we then...

    Are you one of the 70% who ARE NOT a "Hard working Family"

    I used exactly that same logic explaining to a thicko permie why it was able to leave at 5pm every day and still be in contract and well respected by the leadership team while he was a permie doing 12 hours a day to achieve the same output. He didn't get it. :ohwell

    Are you one of the 70% who ARE NOT a "Hard working Family"

    I just have to get this off my chest before I go mad :bang::bang: Since around the last election politicians seem obsessed with targetting the needs and wants of "Hard Working Families". Examining this curious statement for a minute how exactly do you measure whether a "Family" is "Hard...
