Great system and really easy. Maybe different agencies operate different

The Agency that got me the job insists on an invoice and a timesheet. I don't mind either way, doesn't take long to do. I fax my timesheet over to the agency, and update the online portal for the PSC to raise the invoice. At least I get a record of when the invoice has been sent from the PSC (I manually enter it into my Accounting package for reference) and a copy of the timesheet and get paid about a week later. However, the agency that the client employs enforces self-billing. Typical man-in-the-middle type of employment.
To answer the original point, self billing is just a method of reducing paperwork (from my understanding).
