I have never met an IT contractor paid by the client in cash.

I did a contract at the DHSS (which shows how long ago that was!) where I was paid by the agency with a cheque, weekly. Straight to the bank, cash it in and Bob's your uncle. I also did one here in Germany and the company, although German, had registered its offices as an LLC in Las Vegas so each month I used to get a cheque drawn on a Las Vegas bank. My bank manager thought I spent my time gambling!

Mate of mine did a gig in Nigeria a while back where they were all paid in cash each week.

Management and security would come round with a briefcase of US$ on a Friday afternoon for each contractor.

For once, the thread title is spot on.

Shhhhh MP, They're sleeping and we don't want to wake them. They look so peaceful in their matching onesies. In fact the only way I can tell them apart is the S, F & M they have embroidered on the front.

They all had a long day yesterday. Leave them be.

What exactly is it you do as a contractor? I only ask as I need a bit of work doing, nothing major just a bit of plumbing and a bit of decoration. I'll pay in cash obviously!

Cash? How common.

And you took that goob posted on this cretins thread on it's face value?

I work direct and the client pays me in cash. Heard of such a model?

I am sure you didn't as you are a certified cretin.

Everyone has heard of that model - It is the model employed by manual labourers, tradesmen and pikeys.

I have never met an IT contractor paid by the client in cash. Obviously some people, Suity for example, do odds and sods on the side for a few quid but they don't call that contracting. That is Plan B or possibly even just a hobby.

In fact thinking about it I don't think I would ever want to have a wad of cash handed over to cover even a weekly invoice.

Thanks for showing the newbies how not to come back for the lack of a comeback.

Ah I see my fan club are still here

Take a break, get a life, knock one out? Just do summat else for a bit. Recharge the ole batteries.

Then with a bit of RnR, then you might actually go back to being vaguely funny.
