I've been offered a contract through an agency at an agreed PAYE day rate.
Agent has now subsequently said that the employers contribution to my pension (ie the 3% of the statutory 8% under auto enrolement) comes out of my day rate.
Is that reasonable / immoral/ shady / outright illegal?
Same agent has told me that i can claim expenses for things such as broadband at £30 /month etc etc without receipts. They said the wholly and exclusively test didn't apply.
While they didn't use the term "dispensation" this smacks of the sort of dodgy advice that rogue umbrellas were peddling back in the day. Are they giving me enough rope to hang myself by or are there special rules for PAYE workers?
