    Hi all,

    i am in my first contract and worked over a weekend ie 4 hrs on a saturday and another 5 hours the following saturday. but the place i am working are refusing to pay for the 2 days and at most will only pay per hour prorata of my daily charge. can they do this? here is what is said in my contract provided by the agency that i went through see below.. I maintained that as i am to be paid a daily rate that means that i get paid the same amount even for ppart days at the weekend.

    Looks like from your contract that they should be paying you the full amount for the 2 days - but you should just take the pay for the number of hours you worked - as I a former IT contractor I can tell you that the best way to make sure your contract is extended is to do the work and don't cause any hassle. Arguing over a few hours pay ain't a good idea - you might get the few hours pay in the end but you will hurt your chances of getting your contract extended...but you should mention it to the agency.
