Overtime rate, Nothing in contract
If you have to invoice through an umbrella, and the invoice is set up for day rate only, this will have to be amended to include an hourly rate for any additional hours worked. That's all I'm trying to say.- disarm

Overtime rate, Nothing in contract
When I was permanent, I was always taxed more on overtime pay. Thought it was the case across the board. £120 a day is just an example, depends on the job of course...- disarm

Overtime rate, Nothing in contract
Speak to the agent and get it written in to the contract. I had to make a few changes to my contract, a few weeks in. They might just divide the daily rate by number of hours, i.e. £120 / 7.5 = £16 an hour. You will need to make sure you can enter an hourly rate as well as a day rate on the...- disarm

Sending / uploading CV as PDF file
Cheers, I'm thinking non-protected PDF as I think it reads slightly better, but if the recruiter doesn't have access to a PDF editor I could be narrowing my chances - probably best sticking to word format then.- disarm

Sending / uploading CV as PDF file
In what format do you upload your CV and/or send to the agency? MS Word format so the agency can edit it before sending it on, or password protected PDF file? At a recent interview I noticed the recruiter had made a right mess of my CV.- disarm

Runnerrs/Joggers, would the client co mind?
Like what's been said, screw what the client may think. You're there to do a job. I always take full lunch (and leave the premises). What I do in my spare time is my business.- disarm

Agency recovering hotel costs through contractor expenses.
It was the agencies portal system. I invoiced for my actual expenses, not including their costs. They shouldn't be allowed to change it especially once it has been authorised by the client.- disarm

Agency problems, has anyone ever dealt with these people?
You're right in getting these terms amended before signing. I've had to change my current contract a few times now.- disarm

Agency recovering hotel costs through contractor expenses.
Advice please. The agency paid for my hotel costs as the client refused to pay (long story). I submitted my chargeable expenses through the portal as usual and the agency has changed the values, basically removing two of the fields and adding a field for 'hotel'. This changes the amount I'm...- disarm

Contracting and timesheets
Hi I have been told by a contractor that on a timesheet you would include the time you left your house and include travelling time in the hours logged. So if you were to start at 9 and finish at 5, you would put down say for example 8.30 - 5.30 to include 30 mins each way of travelling time. Is...- disarm
