Brolly paying you early
First of all let me say I hate my umbrella. I wont name it but if you search some of my earlier stuff you will get its name lol. My pay date is set at the 1st, two month ago my agency didnt pay till the 2nd so I got my money on the 3rd. The next month rolled around and being fairly new to the...- Theonenonly

No, no the agent claim that since the deal was agreed at the start and I accepted they will not give me a higher cut of our 67/37 split. Instead they suggested going to the client and ASKING FOR A PAYRISE lol which I told them it doesnt matter as I think thats rather cheeky in all honesty. I...- Theonenonly

Hi all. Got an answer back from the agency! They said they would be happy to speak to the client on my behalf lol as his rate was agreed when I signed the 6 month contract. He said any changes mid contract need to be agreed with the client as he cannot change the 63/37 cut that we agreed...- Theonenonly

I asked for a review Friday just gone to discuss how I am getting on and if there was anything I need to change or do better. In the meeting the client had only praise, so they are very happy with my services. I think I will take the advice of leaving it for now and if there is an extention to...- Theonenonly

Good advice thanks. I wont let it eat at me, however the lad I work with has known about this figure since the start and is a little resentful. After seeing the rate myself I dont blame him. There is a chance that this contract will be renewed in Feb, even if it is only for another month or...- Theonenonly

Hi, I am currently on my first 6 month contract (I am exactly half way through) and I have just stumbled across a purchase order for my services to my agency and they are taking a 37% cut for every hour. Is this normal? I have read things like 20% seems to be the going rate which is fair for...- Theonenonly

Future contracts / Extensions
Just as theory really....... Cutting out the agency, is it advisable? Say for instance I work for a company and they wish to extend my contract but they come to me first before putting the paper work together, could I get the client to stop dealing with the agency that originally brought me in...- Theonenonly

Forced holiday
Also forgot to mention the contract will only last another 4 weeks or so after the shutdown so it might even be worth looking for another 3/6 month contract to start when the shutdown starts. Only problem with that is I dont want to dissapoint my current client or get a rep for bailing early.- Theonenonly

Forced holiday
I thought it would be classed as a "second job" but since I will be out of work for those 2 weeks I guess thats not the case? I didnt know about the factory shutdown (First job in manufacturing and first contract really) Just found out about it today. My contract states I will provide services...- Theonenonly

Forced holiday
What do you all do when you are forced to take holiday (in my case the factory I am currently contracing in closes for a xmas 2 weeks) I cant afford the holiday lol but of course I have no choice but to take it. I have entertained the idea of looking for a 1/2 week short contract on the side...- Theonenonly
