    Welcome to CUK.

    Yes it is legal.

      Which bit of it do you think is not legal? Which laws did you believe have been broken?

      If you are on an FLC you could be right....

        Read the AWR guide on here as a first step. The principle behind it is that agency workers receive at least parity of reward to their permanent peers.

        Before making any claim I suggest you have it proof read for spelling and grammar.

          Can you confirm what it is that you do?
          Can you let us know whether you work through a recruitment agency or directly with an end client?
          Can you confirm whether your daily/hourly rate has decreased or whether your colleagues earnings have increased?
          Do you have a contract of employment with your umbrella company?

          More than happy to try and help but can you please let us have some more information
