Hi all
I just need a bit of advice.
I am almost half way through a 6 month FTC. I have no contract and will not receive one. I have asked. When I have done contract roles previously I have been paid weekly, but in this role I am paid monthly. Without a contract I had no idea this would be the case.
I am performing well and they are talking about making me perm but they are also working me into the ground. Am working 12 hours a day and am still behind. Not my fault - the workload is beyond what they had previously thought it would be. In fact it is double.
I am having to work UK & US hours due to the nature of the work.
Another reason why I am behind is I had to do a full day's training with the permanent members of staff last week. I am the only contractor. My rusty period of being in HR says that I should not be on training courses though it is a long time and I know contractor rules have changed.
I am paid a day rate. Previously through my umbrella company I could claim back travel and lunch expenses. No idea if I can here as I have no contract and am not getting one.
Any advice at all? If I should not be on training courses then that gives me ammo as to why I am so behind. Bottom line is I am bing seriously overworked and told to put up and shut up and there are just not enough hours in the day.
Thanks all
