Great point - I must of let that one slip past me, however i have updated my post :)
RE: why i have leaned on the agency....
First of all i don't believe the agency are aware that this is a 'problem' yet. Bear in mind that the client sent this note to me, and me alone on workday, late in the...
Hey Everyone - First of all thanks so much for all the useful help :)
First of all i am glad to see i am not going insane or thinking this is a little bizarre...!
I should add that the client has been heavily pushing me for a permanent role within the company, it may be that the sudden "Run...
Hi Sue - Great questions, sorry i should of stated this at the start!
I have a written and signed contract (by both parties) for the dates up until the end of April.
The contract i have is with an agency, whom i have also written too about this situation.
Thanks,
Mr.T
Hi Everyone :)
I work for a rather large organisation, and had a contract until the end of april with an extension in the works to continue delivering work.
The client emailed me tonight to say he is unable to approve my last invoice as they had gone "Over Budget" and has asked me what we can...
Thanks Guys :-)
I have thrown them my previous offer back and will see what they do, in the mean time i have thrown my PlanB into action and talking numbers and dates with them just incase it all goes sour.
Until then i am in serviced accommodation (finished moving in at 2AM yesterday, what a...
You know whats weird, i offered just that! But then the land lord came back and wanted the deposit on-top of that as well, plus legal fees which just comes to a crazy figure up front (just shy of 20K)...all because i am on a rolling contract.
...On-top of that i have to furnish the place as...
Hey All,
There are always more properties out there as we know, but, you know when you find "the one". The one you walk into and it takes you back a step and you just know its home? Thats the kind of place this is for me. I have been to countless house viewings and searched more sites than i...
Hey Guys!
Thanks for coming back :)
Geoff/Misch - Great ideas, the only problem i have is that the other half is down here on work already so we were hoping to get a place together!
Tractor - haha, i like the idea! Although my "salary" is by far below the rent being asked, so not sure how by...
Hey All!
So i have my contract signed and ready to rock and roll which is great.
The only downside is now i have to relocate for the role, which i don't mind. I found a cracking property to rent on a 12 month lease with a 6 month break clause.
I just had the results of my reference checks...
Hey Everyone,
Seems I got ahead of myself and need to tread very carefully.
The business unit that wants to contract me is going to have a discussion with the current client I am "sold" into to make them aware and get their blessing.
I have also started early conversations with my employer...
Hey Everyone...again! :tumble:
Loads of good stuff coming back, thanokyou all so much!! So just a quick response to some of the questions around my current employment and contract you have asked about.
There is a clause in my employment contract (supposedly) but I have asked for a copy from...
Thanks so much for the help everyone - I wasnt expecting so much support so quickly! :eek:
I will go have a roam around PCG's site, does anyone recommend a package as they seem to have lots that cater to many scenarios...
Cheers!
Mr.T
