Hello everyone,i just recently joined the forum and have accessed a couple of agency jobs through the website.Would you all agree that the situation of more and more agency work becoming available these days is spoiling the trade beyond belief.
 
Hello Grant

Welcome to the forums :) - there's quite a few threads on here talking about agencies... I don't think you are alone in your thoughts
 
Thanks for you reply,could you give me some light on how these umbrella companies actually work out you wages?.i had two days at 125.00 a shift and expenses of 201.00,i was paid 112.00 and this included 11.00 pounds expenses,i've out of pocket which really does not make sense at all.I'm so annoyed.
 
Hi Grant,

That does sound a bit off. My MD is just coming back from holiday, so I will certainly ask him his opinion on this.

In the meanwhile, have you asked the agency for a complete breakdown of how they worked out your money?
 
Cheers

Thanks for you help,i have not asked them yet but i will be straight on that come Tuesday morning as i don't think they are open Monday with it being the bank holiday,cheers.
 
you will get some good answers about this once the lads get thier teeth into the agency chat!! There are is one agency on here RHL(i think) search out them they could help with the question of getting ripped off.they say that they are on side so aks them.GOOD LUCK !!!!!!!
