im workin kid and id never work for agy again just con men and if you were any good you wound not be on here you would be out finding work for the lads or even better paying the lads now run along bye bye!!
 
I think that slav 80 is the only one that can complain on here,lets not knock ROBERT HURST about whats gone on.Robert Hurst seems to be a good paying agency on here and send good jobs our way.Slav 80 have you been in contact with the scaffolding company that went through Robert Hurst Agency i would like to know why they havent paid them,its just a thought.If everyone gets paid then lets have some feedback on that and not just leave the story unfinished.Right im going to shut the fcuk up now ;-)
 
The point is mate that Slav has a contract with Robert Hurst.

Whoever RH are in contract with is not really Slav's problem for the purposes of him getting the wages he's earned.

Personally, I believe that a man is entitled to his wages at the end of the week. If RH are having problems getting paid from their client then that's their issue, not Slav's.

I know Slav personally and he's a hard worker and a decent geezer. I hope for his sake that this issue can be sorted out sooner rather than later.
 
Well this is what we are up against a new client 3 months work for 3 part 2's in Oxford not a single guy shows up this morning because it was raining bless them if you dont wana get wet dont work in construction

Slav's wages will be sorted he has confirmation when that is from us and the client
 
Well there we have it Slav has been told he is going to get paid and good for him he deserves it.So let this be a lesson to all
 
in my opinion this part of the forum needs some basic rules and moderating , it is far too easy to just pop up and post stuff slagging agencies off, companies off etc

although i fully agree that a man should get rates he is promised, paid on day agreed etc etc sometimes things just dont always work out as everyone involved expected.

this is first time robert hurst as far as im aware has had a bad review, yet is almost being hounded off the forum .

also unless some of you have actually been involved with management type positions you dont know exactly what it is like constantly chasing men, chasing money, broken promises about payment, companies going bankrupt

even some of the best credit search tools around sometimes get it wrong, and some of the biggest and the best companies get hands burnt or in fact fold on you.

but that is just part of being in management what im trying to say is this

sometimes **** HAPPENS and there is nothing you can do about it immediately but can only sort it as quickly as possible for all concerned.

there are good and bad employers out there and we should be doing more to help everybody on here sort the good from the bad, not chasing every company that has one cock up and allowing everyone on here who knows **** all about the situation to put the boot in.

we need to try and sort something like a league table where all thumbs up are counted along with all thumbs down and the company with most thumbs up go to top of league and most thumbs down to bottom of league and if too many thumbs down you will be politely told you are not welcome to advertise employment on the forum no more.

and only the people involved in disputes or employment by them companies can give a thumbs up or down
 
good post super,agree with most of it totaly only concern is that this is the whole nature of forums diffrent opinions,some informed some uninformed mate.whatever results,results,shame bout the slanging but people have their right to express there feelings,some somewhat more than others.
 
totally agree celticbhoy forums allow everyone to voice their opinions regardless,

what my main concern is , is that a few months down the line there will only be us scaffolders on here because all other association companies, people, agency,s , forum sponsors etc etc will have decided to evacuate and abandon ship for various reasons which i just think in my opinion would be a huge shame and put the whole future of the forum in jeopardy ,

i believe everyone has freedom of speech and the right to voice their opinion and views as they see it, my main concern is the integrity of the forum and its future as a place where people involved in areas of the scaffold industry can come and voice their views an opinions in a balanced and fair enviroment
 
i have ran guys and yes you chase men or payment and most payment is on 28 days receipt of invoice, so that mean we dont pay the guys till we get our money? NO its called running a business.. we pay guys on time then you get guys who turn up on time to work.. this fourm is about freedom of speach, you may not like what you read but its all about oppinions right or wrong OPPINIONS
 
Been reading this thread with interest and in my opinion Slav should have been paid when it was due. Nik from Robert Hurst said he arrived back from holidays and found himself having to deal with the issue and also said the client who owes them the money should not have been allowed that much credit and in fact Slav should have been taking off the job. It seems someone in Robert Hurst's cocked up, None of that is Slav's fault. The good news is, the client has given a date for payment and Slav will get his wages.As a good will gesture on the part of Robert Hurst maybe they might consider giving Slav a bit of a bonus for the anxiety caused and in doing so win back credibility and reputation that is essential as an employment agency.

We are all aware of the situation, the fact is the guy has not been paid for 5weeks, he also has a family then RH come on here and tell him he wont be getting his money till the 19th november. Total disgrace i for one wont be working for them.
 
was that thing about saying its just a mistake about a mans pay is a mistake lol he must eat cake
 
Well guys

It seems to me that more guys want the agencies off the forum than on it, so maybe all agencies should pull off now? and then as quoted in a previous post 3 months down the line when your looking for work we will not be posting potentual jobs.

I think I will contact a few other agencies and see what they think
 
At the end of the day, this is a very difficult situation to manage. When I told everyone that they should be prepared to back their comments up a few months ago, people complained that they had a right to free speech and that the forum should help to expose bad organisations.

On the other hand some negative comments could simply be down to personal grudges which could harm generally well run businesses who contribute positively to the industry.

Maybe it is time for agencies to stop posting on the forum as all of the problems seem to revolve around them, however these kind of situations will arise on every forum / community site on the Internet.

A blanket ban might not be fair as there are quite a few agencies who post on here without any problems.
 
Would be good to hear from scaffolders who have worked for agencys that were treated OK. Surely they all can't be bad. With regards to Slavs troubles if its an isolated incident then ok although I agree he seems to have been poorly treated. The thing to also remember is that if you don't want the jobs advertised by the agencies theres always going to be an Eastern European that will, if I wasn't working i'd be using the opportunity to get my foot in the door and show my worth
