BT cutting contractors' rates by a fifth and halving notice period because 'coronavirus'

RaymondR

BT have only cut contractors rates who are contracted via Pontoon.

BT are still employing contractors via another agency offering day rates above what the the Pontoon contractors where earning.

It's a bit of a farce.

I can only assume the other agency is via a managed service or work package contract.

BT will lose a lot of good contractors cutting day rates.

After all its usually the contractors who put in the long days and hundreds of hours each month.

Most perm BT employees are off line bang on 5pm everyday and have a lunch break.
