The end client has decided to terminate a contract after 2 weeks. During this two weeks I have filled timesheets, and provided invoices to the agency. When asked the agency for payment, they are saying that since the end client is not approving the timesheets, they will not pay, and this is the end of the matter from their point of view. I know that the agency was not transparent with the end client about some of the arrangements, and when they found out they terminated the contract. The agency claims it is not their responsibility to chase the client to approve the timesheets, so what is the best way to tackle this issue ?
The agency is pointing to this clauses in the contract
4.3 The Sub-Contractor agrees that all its invoices submitted to XXX will be supported by the appropriate authorisation duly signed by the authorised representative of the Client identified in Schedule 1.
4.4 XXX shall not be obliged to pay any fees to the Sub-Contractor unless the appropriate authorisation and invoice have been properly submitted by the Sub-Contractor in accordance with sub clause 4.1 and 4.3 of this Agreement.
Thanks for your answer on this
