Why we'd rather say no
Being paid only from savings makes a "no" honest and a "yes" a bet on our own pay.
We're only paid out of what we save you, so work that saves you nothing is work we'd be doing for free. That's why we would rather tell you no early than take on a job where the saving isn't real.
Key points
- Under the Keep-Half Deal, an hour on work that saves you nothing is an hour we aren't paid for.
- So we pick work where the saving is real, make it as big as we can, and tell you early if it isn't there.
- If we look and can't see a real saving, we'll say so plainly, and it will have cost you nothing.
- A straight no is the most honest thing we can give you. A yes means we've bet our own pay on it.

Most companies want every job they can get.
We're happy to turn work down.
Here's why.
Under the Keep-Half Deal, we only get paid out of what we save you.
So an hour we spend on work that doesn't save you anything is an hour we work for free.
That gives us every reason to pick work where the saving is real.
To make it as big as we can.
And to tell you early if it isn't there.
If we look and can't see a real saving, we'll say so plainly.
And it will have cost you nothing.
A straight no is the most honest thing we can give you.
And a yes means we've bet our own pay on it.
