Howdy cowpokes,
After handing in notice on a contract due to poor pay and a few other things I've been offered a completion bonus instead of an increased rate due to the supposed politics of implementing an increase for an existing contract / role / project. I've been advised to request a bonus which would equate to the increase I'd be after, and define a milestone suitable to pin it to, but as this agreement would not be part of an existing contract and only delivered under certain conditions. I mostly trust the word of people involved and such and only want to be paid what I take to be the market rate for what I am doing. I think it's a pretty good and clever idea, and keeps me on board until the project delivers, so kudos to them for that angle, but I'm kinda concerned it could magically evaporate or similar. Does anyone else have experience of this sort of arrangement? Also would this need to go via the agency??
Thanks
