Might have to take a 10% cut in my day rate and was just wondering what the legal position is on this. I have a contract clearly stating my day rate which is valid to 31st May 2014. Can I be forced to accept this cut or do they have to honour the contract?

Well I decided to walk. Just hoping the summer is going to be good one.

Eh? You walked rather than let them make a choice of keep you at you original rate or terminate early?
Original rate - 10% or leave early. Its summer, well almost, the GT2 is out of hibernation, the golf course looks awesome. No brainer smile

Definitely a good call.

I never managed to time my breaks quite so nicely although multiple ski trips were in order!

Think I need to get back to contracting!
First time for me that my breaks have coincided with the summer. 99.9% of the time they are usually during the winter.

Many have stayed though. Can't see the point myself. Its like you devalue yourself by accepting the cut.
