Hi all, is it legal or nonlegal, is it moral or non moral? I have a short story and I'd like to know your opinion as reflecting your freelancer experience. I signed a contract with a company as free lancer for X money per day for a mission of about 2 weeks. At the end I received the money (X times work days) for all worked days plus the per diem for all traveling and staying days (the entire mission days). Next mission with the same company I was for 3 weeks and they said that it is the same contract. I did my job and at the end I received just the money (X times work days) for all worked days, no more traveling or staying days per diem paid. The final result was awful because the mission was far away and all traveling time was about 6 days. The answer was that in the contract per diem is not specified, and for the first mission they made a mistake and I have to be happy for that mistake. After all calculation the results seems to be worst than an employee person paid for mission. What do you think is this legal or nonlegal, moral or non moral? Is it a trick most used in freelancer contracts? What's your experience regarding this? thank you,
I remember learning about a case vaguley similar to this one when I did a law module, but I cant for the lfe of me remember the name(i passed by one mark!) Try looking at these links Law Teacher | Resources For Your Essays and Dissertations | Contract Law Contract
From your messages I understand you are a lawyer, am I right? You know I'm a correct man, and I don't like fighting, this is why I'm interest just about the case, not exactly to fight in justice. But do you think that this can be judged correctly? Can you try to look much more for that company, maybe is a particular style most used! My first intention here is to meet the correct people, and to help others to learn from my bad experience as I also learned. I'm very disappointed about this company, and also about freelancer activities as soon as this is my first company as freelancer employer. thank you for your link I'll read the sites!
