i wasnt taking it personally, because i assumed you were trying to help me by making me see a different point of view.
but i,ve worked for three different companies one of which used this method successfully but i never seen a copy of his t&c's. he didnt do it so that when people were in breach of it he could take them to court. it was so customers could see he worked all year round. and if he showed up at a house and they turned him down he would simply take them off his contract list (2week,4week or 8 week) and put them on his casual list which meant that if he had time after doing his contracts in a particular area he'd try and get around his casual's im sure there are hundreds of things wrong with this idea , but i want to give it a try because it seemed to work well for him i dont doubt that when he introduced it he lost a large % of customers but this is a risk that comes with being self employed
any way if i lose all my custys ive got plenty of rubber on my boots to start again
kind regards
