Temp Rates?

TBH I give that last piece of advice whenever you leave a company, esp if you're getting another job in the same business sector.

it's good advice, k_s.

the warm glow of "Fuck you, your shitty client, your shitty job and your shitty rates... ...." can turn to "Oh, shite!" a few weeks, months and even years later, esp if one needs security clearance or credit vetting for a govt or City type role where they go back 5 - 10 years for references etc,.

How about if my payments need to be backdated? I'm about 4 months overdue - will they spread what I owe over the rest of the year, if I'm paying monthly?

Also - if I don't have direct debit facility - can I pay in a Post Office?

You're four months overdue and the council hasnt taken you to court? what borough do u live in?

Lambeth send the final warning if im a week over, then a court summons after two.

They don't know who I am yet. This is me 'registering' to pay from Year Zero, as it were.

No they aren't, whatshername kept it out of this year's parliamentary calendar - it was supposed to happen but didn't.

Just received letter from my agency which states:

"As some of you may already be aware, from 1 October 2007 there are some legal changes that will impact on some or all of you.

The first is re: new minimum wage rates blah blah blah...

Annual holiday entitlement for temporary workers is currently 20 days including bank holidays and will rise on 1 October to 24 days including bank holidays for full time workers. As your holiday year runs from April each year, this will mean that annual entitlement for the remaining 6 months of this leave year will increase by 2 days."

In a temp job I had, I used to get less than another temp doing exactly the same job but with a different agency - that sucked I think I only got £5.50 an hour at the time and he was on £6.50 - world of difference at that kind of pittance!

I have that here, but what I was posting about was for Kyser's attention re: Bank Holiday pay. He's not responded yet though

I wasn't actually responding directly to your comment - I didn't even read most of the thread tbh

Sorry, been busy annoying people elsewhere

That's fricking excellent news! Will be nice to be able to actually use my accrued holiday for actual private vacations as opposed to public bank holidays...
