Started a new role where the rate was higher than my previous one. I assumed the same hours per day but the new one in an extra hour which dilutes my rate to less per hour than previous. I didn't find out about the hours per day until I arrived. There are also other issues I am unhappy with which could constitute breach (role uses different tech to what I use and what is stated on my contract). Is it better to cut and run now without invoicing or hang around for a few weeks to work notice?

This is the wrong forum for serious questions. You should ask them in Contracts or Accounting. -

Re the different tech, surely it's not that hard to come to terms with a new type of burger flipper?Comment
