It looks like I'm going to be taking this one after all!
Contract been negotiated ok. Will prob take out Qdos insurance too just in case.
Really don't want to do it, but also don't want to be on the bench right now so it's a case of take the job, do it for a while until I get really fed up with it and then take some time off.
I'll consider getting Riley's membership - that sounds like a good idea!

I worked for them for a while and as I was on a different shift I got paid the full 12 hours but i know alot of people who really were unhappy with the situation. There is f**k all to do for 2 hours in the middle of the night and not even adequate places to catch a nap.
The work was very tedious too and the nights were killers. Hence the reason I left the contract a few months early.

It looks like I'll be turning it down anyway now. Qdos say contract inside IR35.
Oh well!

And the agency pays monthly, 2-3 weeks after the end of the month.

Also, at 10 hours billable, this is only 35 hrs per week, as the 4 on, 4 off shift pattern covers 8 days.

support job
I did this for a month. You don't get time for a sh*t without disaproving looks, it's like a production line. In China.
Then the client decides that it doesn't like the team, and one of the middleman agents has to re-recruit in a rush.
