I have been in a long term contract with many extensions on the same day rate
but another collegue gets £54 less a day for the same job, two others get £25 a day more than me!
they want to bring me in line with the lower rate (but not the other 2) is this legal?

Can I please just check something? So what you are saying when your contract comes up for renewal they want to lower your rate? But not change the two higher people?

I think that this is legal as it's contract work. You agree a price and then do the work? So if they offer you a lower rate it's down to you if you want to take it or not. As long as it's above the legal page rate. As each persons contract is there own business?

Please correct me if I am wrong.
