Phil Bradley's weblog. To the Chair of a professional library interest group, I’m angry, depressed, sad and disappointed that I need to write this open letter to you. You sent a member of your group onto two courses that I ran, and the total cost was £198.
I try and keep my costs as cheap as I can because I think making sure we have well trained and informed professionals is important. My fee has been tightly worked out, and as an independent trainer it’s important that I get it right. I have to pay for my own National Insurance, I get no holiday pay, no sick pay and I have to pay for my own pension.
That’s not a sob story, it’s just a fact, and I’m happy to pay that in order to live the life that I want. However, it does mean that I have to get paid promptly – particularly because I have to pay out for things in advance of a course – the cost of a venue, travel, administration costs and so on. If I don’t get paid inside my 30 days I’ve then got to decide what to do next. So, what should I do now? Librarian.net. Librarian by Day | Bobbi L. Newman.
