Contract away from home

[Blakes 7]

I assume some guys on here have done contracts away from home for their companies.

What allowance ie money did you get for:

a) Food/ accommodation

b) any extra for inconvenience?

 

Any input happily received.

I used to pay for meals and digs [travel lodge] and a couple of pints in the bar

Hi Lee,

What duration were your guys away for?

[18 stoner]

If they are SE day rate, pay for bed and brekky.

 

If employed, bed and all grub.

 

Transport to and from included.

My mate does rail tree work all over the country, He gets Money for digs and an evening meal paid for, I cant remember exactly how much he gets, I know its the same amount all the time tho, Obviously he gets a van and a fuel card too.

I know it's not so much "the thing" to do in the UK, but do groundies and Bad@$$es camp out nearby or at the site? I've got a good tent and sleepingbag that'd be comfortable accomodation... I just don't know what the UK restrictions on tenting up in a public area are.

I dont think you can pitch a tent anywhere you want BUT yes, My mate who works all over England, In the summer when the weathers nice, He goes to a camp site and camps in a tent, saves himself ALOT of money
