    Timesheet not approved now what

    Hi, My last timesheet for my last gig at one of the Indian consultancies has not been approved 11 days after it was submitted so the agency is not paying my invoice naturally. After chasing and being ignored i suspect this is intentional. I followed all the rules when ending the gig, completed...

    Are these clauses standard?

    NLUK thanks for the clarification. This is the only clause i am wary of as the work i will do on the contract is quite niche so i could see how after this i may get offered something similar at another consultancy and i would not want to be in breach. That said, after a word with the pimp it now...

    Are these clauses standard?

    Thanks for the replies so far. I have sent the contract to a solicitor for review as well. The exact clause is below. This clause, in addition to the fact that "permanent" work has already been discussed makes me think their intention is to try and lock me in at a later date.

    Are these clauses standard?

    Hi I have been offered a contract by a consulting company through an agency. Some of the clauses seem extremely restrictive and Im wondering if this is just my perception or not. For example there is a one year cooling off period where after the end of the contract I would be unable to do any...

    Stay permie or take a 3 month contract?

    Re: Stay permie or take a 3 month contract? What a ray of sunshine you are. The rate was 400 a day, I'll be sure to up that on the next call I get. I didn't sign anything, agree to anything or leave my permie job so not that gullible after all.

    Is this permanent package irrestible?

    Re: Is this permanent package irrestible? What is the bonus based on? Most times I find you don't see the bonus amounts they state in the offer.

    Stay permie or take a 3 month contract?

    Re: Stay permie or take a 3 month contract? So this week the agent said the consultancy are sending the contract over. This didn't arrive until Friday and when it did it wasn't from the consultancy but rather a template from the agent. The template had another Indian consultancy as the client...

    Stay permie or take a 3 month contract?

    Solid advice Mich, thank you. Heart? What is this heart you speak of? Thanks, this is true. My mindset from permie to independent is the biggest thing i need to change. I definitely want to contract long term, not just one gig. Finance wise i have 3 months in my warchest, four at the end of...

    Stay permie or take a 3 month contract?

    So a week or so ago i was contacted by an agent for a contract role through a large Indian consultancy in the area of SAP that i work with. I am permie at the moment, just 8 weeks in at one of the Big 4. I have not had a project since i joined 8 weeks ago though. Nothing at all, mostly messing...

    Contracting in Denmark

    Hi, I have been contacted about a SAP contract in Denmark, Copenhagen that sounds quite interesting. I would like to get a better understanding on how tax would work there as i am UK based. I may use an umbrella if that makes it simpler. Is anyone on here contracting in Denmark at the moment or...

    Getting one over on a recruitment agent.

    Re: Getting one over on a recruitment agent. Pardon my ignorance but in the OP's example why would the agent not put you forward for role? What do they gain by doing this to you?

    When to contract

    I have been considering contracting over the last year or so and more so recently. I am not sure when to make the move though. I seem to keep thinking i need to gain skill X or Y before i make the move. How do you decide when to move? Ensuring you do it at the right time skills wise. For...
