Have you gone though PM training or certification?  If you don't have a lot of PM experience, I suggest looking into getting your Project Management Professional (PMP) Certification.  It will look great on your resume. Go to http://www.pmi.org/info/PDC_PMP.asp for more info.

Have a good long chat with the Manager. if nothing gets sorted after that, then quit. it doesn't sound like its worth all the hassle.

Depends on what the project is, but generally a project manager is in charge of the job (database roll out for example).  They make sure that the timelines and deliverables are met.  They schedule and chair meetings.  They plan and possibly do the budgets.

You'll have to read the fine print in your contract. Your employer may reserve the right to reduce your working hours in certain circumstances. It also depends on the laws where you live.\n\nIf in doubt, go see a lawyer - preferably one familiar with labor law. An initial consultation shouldn't cost you more than $100 - or may even be free - and if your case is valid, they'll work on contingency (which means you don't pay unless you win your suit).

I used to work for a firm that had a complex computer system where notetaking and time recording took more time than actually doing the work.  Then I worked for a place that had flat fees, then if for some reason the client or the attorney got fired, it would be billed to the 10th of the hour.  That never happened.....\n\nI finally settled on a flat fee based on the time a case of the sort would normally take, taking into consideration the time periods for easiest and most difficult cases and averaging it out based on my expertise and experience and I come up with what I think is fair.  I raise prices when I think my skill is greater or the process becomes more time consuming.  Although the easy cases end up being a little expensive and the hard cases kinda cheap, it ends up balancing out.  If for some reason the work does not get completely done, I'll refund based on percentage of the case actually done.

First of all I'd recommend you come up with a contract for clients. Right now you are using verbal agreements and emails as you said above. That will hold up to some degree but to put everything in writing and having your client sign a contract with you before the job ensures your payment one way or another. The emails will hold up in small claims court but you may end up with less than your bill states because you did not have a solid written contract with your client. In the end the it will be your word against his with the emails swaying it your way. Though again, get agreements in writing to have a record of the transaction. With that situations like this will be very easy to resolve without alot of hassle and "he said, she said". Good luck and next time get it in writing.

hmmm...sounds like an essay question that YOU are supposed to be working on.  Consult your intro level management book.

Anyplace that I ever worked that had contracts withheld payroll until the contract was signed.  The checks were cut, but not handed over until the contract was signed.  If there is a specific issue that needs to be negotiated, and the employee means more to the company than having a rigid, one size fits all contract, make some modifications that both sides agree on.  Otherwise, I would suggest immediate termination.

The typical principal or project manager spends from 150 to 250 hours per year looking for lost files and reports (electronic and paper). Even in a small firm this is a substantial loss. This time usually cannot be billed. If the average billing rate of the professional staff and management is $80/hour, this amounts to from $12,000 to $20,000 per year wasted per professional. Another way to view it is - Assuming the typical professional works 2080 hours per year then you are loosing from 7 percent to 12 percent potential chargeability just looking for "stuff". This is also valuable time you could spend generating more business.\nhttp://www.kfdata.com/IMPROVING%20YOUR%20BOTTOM%20LINE%20WITH%20CORPORATE%20MEMORY%20MANAGEMENT.htm

see a professional photographer,  make a portfolio,this will be the part that costs you financially; get an agent, now this is the part thats hard, trying to find someone who feels they can use you. A contract is a legal document, you may want to get an attorney to look over everything and explain, because you will be used..
