Whether I've been temp or perm I've always had the attitude that if your start time is 8.30am then you are at your desk and ready to start at 8.30am. Not saunter in at 8.30ish, take coat off, make a cup of tea, have a gossip etc, then actually be ready for work at 9am.
As a temp at the moment myself, I have learnt that you have to be very strict with your timings as if the employers can get away with working you even an extra half an hour without pay they will. Make sure that you sign in bang on time and don't turn up earlier than necessary, take your full lunch and leave bang on time. If you are unable due to work pressures, then make a point of mentioning that you it is a shame that you only get paid for the time you work as you would love to stay to help out (if it is busy)."I've fallen down a hole" - said in best Monty Python voice-over.0
