I suppose if you are a women, you could take your daily rate and add 30%, that should give you a good idea of what us men earn.

[DoctorStrangelove]

How very odd.

How would that help one bleed radiators or lick the chutney spoon?

[fullyautomatix]

It is the culture in India to try and find out what others are earning and then focus on somehow getting paid more till you are the highest earner. I worked with an indian chap who spent every lunch time trying to find my rate so he can get the clientco to pay him the same rate. Pretty blatant and shameless pig, eventually got out of there and good riddance!

[vetran]

And have you ever licked the chutney spoon and put it back ?

Have the other contractors with the same client done this ??

What do you feel about squirrels?

Sheep in stockings or not?

every been up the ....... oops better stop!

[vetran]

e.g. MF has 2 years experience cleaning the toilets in the BA Silver lounge at T5. That doesn't mean he should be on the same rate as Steve, the head barman in the Concorde Room, who has been doing the job for 5.

yeah but MF's rate is per pound!

[Eirikur]

Why does the op think GDPR will give him rates of other contractors???

[TestMangler]

And how good are you at radiator bleeding??

Hi

Will it be possible to use foia/gdpr to obtain day rates of other contractors working on my public sector client.

It’s none of your business what rate others are paid. You should negotiate a rate of which you are happy with. You either accept the rate and get on with the job or reject it and find another contract.

[WTFH]

Ask the other contractors I meant

Tell them yours 1st if they laugh you are below market rate

But "market rate" is based on a lot of variables. Three contractors doing the identical job could have different rates based on:
1. Experience before contracting in that client
2. Experience with that client
3. Intermediaries
4. Negotiating skills

And if the other contractors are not doing the identical job, then rate discussions are even more futile.

e.g. MF has 2 years experience cleaning the toilets in the BA Silver lounge at T5. That doesn't mean he should be on the same rate as Steve, the head barman in the Concorde Room, who has been doing the job for 5.

Will they have to tell me, what if they say no?

[northernladuk]

Take them all out get them pissed and then ask them. It won't be much use to you when you get yourself binned the next morning again though.

[cojak]

So, the answer is no (apart from 1 who recognised that this is General).

[WTFH]

No they won't have to tell you.
If they say no, then you will have your answer.

Looking at your posting history, I'm not sure that contracting is for you.
