    Permanent Contract vs Daily Rate

    Hello

    Permanent contracts usually say how many hours you are contracted to work (e.g. 37h per week) while temp contracts usually specify a daily rate.

    The permanent contracts worry me because they are restrictive in terms of the hours they block you in a day while a daily rate contract does not actually specify the exact hours you need to work and theoretically you could do the daily job in 6h or 12h.

    As I am looking to undertake two or more contracts (permanent or temporary), I am worried that I could be challenged that I complete work for other employers during my contracted hours for one employer.

    Can you propose a solution for this?

    I think the ideal would be to have a permanent contract based on a daily rate rather than specific hours per week but I suspect this is a very exotic request.

    Is this possible and if not, what else can be done?

    Thanks!

    Is this just a theoretical or do you have 2+ contracts you are negotiating right now?
