    On another note they have just switched from paying my invoices weekly (and promptly) to 'enforcing' their 14 day invoice rule (and having to be chased up at that).

    Could be a sign of cash flow issues...?

    We'll wait and see.

    More likely a way to save money as they get an extra week's worth of interest on it, if they start failing to pay i'll become worried, but as a lot of agencies do a 30 day payment period 14 days seems quite reasonable.

    If you mean Real Resourcing then yup. They don't really understand the whole opt in/opt out thing and send you a opt out form as part of the contract (too late by then you muppets) and they are incapable of making contract amendments. (I am still awaiting an amended copy of my agreed contract with the correct hours on it, but the rest is fine so i'm not overly worried. Only taken them 3 months so far..).

    That being said they pay promptly and regulary although I find thier online timesheet system a pain in the ass. TBH pretty much par for the course.
