Getting out of a contract early
Hold on, I have no intention of moving without an offer and a contract in my hand. I never really wanted this contract but after 8 weeks on the bench prior to xmas, I needed to get back to work. This potential new one has come up and its too good to ignore. I expect some puritans may flame...- Flyboy1973

Getting out of a contract early
The other contract IS an absolute belter (40% more on the rate, move back home, no travel, no crap accomodation etc), seriously and the one I accepted has not been the one promised.

SC Renewal - Financial Diffs
Thanks for the advice. My monthly bills inc debts only make up about 55% or our household income so are more than manageable. As you all know, on a permies salary, that could be a problem, but on a Sub Con income, its more than fine.- Flyboy1973

SC Renewal - Financial Diffs
Thanks, it helps a bit. Im more interested in how they normally deal with such things. I just think Honesty is the only policy and as long as I show I am comfortably dealing with my debt I dont see a problem.- Flyboy1973

SC Renewal - Financial Diffs
Thanks, I fully intend too, nothing to hide and nothing they wont see wnyway. Seems my renewal is happening after only 3 years (puzzling) instead of 5 for contractors at BAE Systems. Who decides this?- Flyboy1973
