Maybe I didn’t explain it. The contract was written in such a way that they’d pay double unless I received prompt payment, by stating my day rate was 2x but would be reduced to x if paid on time.
There was no intention to be paid double but the accounting team were known pisstakers so it was a simple way to encourage them not to be. I made the call to HR so as to ensure I got paid at all and to not burn bridges.
I was under the impression that this was quite common. Maybe I just worked with arseholes.
