Client refuses to sign my timesheets

[BlasterBates]

as long as OP has evidence of working the 3 days.
No point embarassing yourself in court without it.

He doesn't need evidence at this stage. He should just wait for the reply from the agency. Denying someone worked when they did to avoid paying is technically fraud so it is unlikely the client would do this. He needs their rebuttal to proceed.

Presumably in a B2B contract proving you went to an office and sat in a chair isn't actually evidence that you produced one working days worth of output and hence deserve paying? Why does everyone suggest proving you sat in a chair on a certain day is enough to go legal and get paid £XXXX?

So far, they're just refusing to sign a timesheet. They've not queried the quality of the work or said they won't sign because he just sat their picking his nose.. At this stage, having proof you went into the office is sufficient.

But even if they did query the quality of the work, it'd be strange (and obvious to a judge) if they'd paid for his work beforehand, and the only work they query the quality over, is exactly the days that the OP is claiming for non-payment.

The OP should go through the dunning process. He should only worry about the agency or the client muddying the waters, if they arise.
