If you only bill what you work why would you even worry, unless your asking the question because you know it's wrong

You are advocating a voluntary 25% cut in income. Many clients still expect the work to be completed, so you're now doing the same work in less time. Not really a good idea.

What has maximising my income by negotiating the best deal allowing me to bill more hours got to do with agents?

Originally posted by PEEL View PostHi all,
Does anyone here have any experience of having timesheets checked when contracting on an hourly rate?
My contract has no defined minimum / maximum hours and I generally put in about 10 hours a day.

Originally posted by MyUserName View PostI have a graze box each day, I eat two sachets at 11ish and two at 3ish. At lunchtimes I go training outside. No one seems to mind, I train on the road outside the office (carrying sandbags, heavy water containers etc.) so they know where I am. I get stopped sometimes by people asking what I am doing - particularly if I am doing a mile run in full armour on Tuesdays but that is it.
A surprising amount of contractors seem to struggle to do this (if the evidence on here is typical of the industry).

Originally posted by curtis View PostDitto. I always have lunch away from my desk even if I go and sit in my car, which some people I think find odd but I will not stay at my desk for my break, it can be bad enough at times sat there the rest of the day in some places!

I used to work in bank where the entire thing was automated. My contract was 40 hours per week (i.e. not including lunch) and the submissions were automatically handled based on the times recorded from the swipe card logs.
I quite liked it as it was, basically, hassle free for me.
