Just wondered really if anyone bothered making provision for this possible piss taking in the contract or whether they just did as this poster suggests? i.e. Bill for 1.5 days if its regularly taking the piss and see what happens....
Like I said a nice contract rate working 7.5/8 hrs most days with the occasional 10 hr if things go off is a LOT different to working 10-12 hrs every day. Sorry but I'd rather a lower daily rate and a life to go with it.
