Client Meeting Ahead of Contract Review

[ziggystardust]

Agency is pushing me to have a client meeting tomorrow regarding my "onboarding plan" before I have sent my contract for external review, which I have stated will take 2 working days. I stated that once reviewed, if all is well then a start date after that is more realistic.

Just had a bizarre voicemail from my agency who have said that they are doing a couple of audit checks. Apparently my contract renewal start date is 'wrong' and should start on the 1st April 2018 instead of the 3rd April. The reason I asked the end client to start it on the 3rd was because the 1st...
