Anyone in here know any recruiters, or work as a recruiter? I'm not looking for a job or know anyone looking for a job... i'm just curious if anyone knows how the contracts work... If someone is on a 3 month contract to hire, and the signed contract says 3 month to hire... and your contract gets formally extended (without signiture.. the company just keeps extending you) does your written contract expire after your signed time and allow you to re-negotiate pay between you and contractor. or Does it count as a formal signature without your consent? any knowledge on the subject would be awesome My hours / schedule just drastically changed 8 months into a 3 month contract from a nice 9-5 m-f to a 10hr t-t 8pm-6am.... and am allready very underpaid for what I do.
i have a contract with 3M from another company. My position is temp but not temp to hire. I would consider it permanent since I hop from project to project. contract gets renewed every year and my company negotiates with 3M on my salary. overall, the contract companies wins from all of this. you're just a tool that they use- more like their b*tch, and they make the excuse of "blame the economy" when it comes to annual reviews, you'll be lucky if they give you a 8% raise otherwise expect an average of 4% raise. IMHO- stay away from contract companies unless you are desperate, really desperate.
The client controls the game. Contract companies get an agreed upon pay range or an agreed upon mark up (%) prior to going in with a contractor. At any time the contractor can go to the contract house and ask for more money, because either the job or the conditions (in this case, hours) have changed. Worse case, you leave. The contract betweent the contract house and the client often times refers to the minimum time limit the client must have you on as a temp before having the option of converting you to a FTE.
