Anyone else not been paid for a few weeks?

[PerfectStorm]

Yup. I'm on that and was last contract as well.

Perhaps for office temps and so on - real supplier companies work to something closer to a monthly/quarterly cycle. Who'd need it more often?

[TheDude]

Those are rather tight terms! What's the situation now?

Paid today for four weeks.

Real supplier companies

...and they have missed another week.


Since the start of the tax year only a single payment was made on the correct date. This time payment got 'stuck' in their system. The same thing happened to my colleague as well.

...and I have just been called to discuss missing payments...

...and they called the wrong person and started discussing details of another contractor who is missing payments....

Don't wait for them to give you the signal to start job searching. Make sure you have a plan B you can turn down.

Hello, I have started a contract on 1st of JULY but I haven't been paid yet a singe penny
The recruiter from the Agency told me that invoices are usually paid on last Friady of each month, so normally I should have been paid the July time on AUG 26
How normal is this? It's my first contract and my first invoice, so I don't have any experience of how things work and what is normal and what is not, so I don't know what my proper actions would be
Any advice?
