AIUI, the debt is owed to the brolly, not you. They're the one who should have a dunning process, up to and including legal action.

Originally posted by ITDolly View PostI have given you a reasonable opportunity to resolve my complaints regarding payment of invoices and despite this, invoices remain outstanding.
I have now been left with no alternative but to seek legal redress through the courts.
Unless this matter is satisfactorily resolved within the next 7 days I will initiate legal proceedings and seek advice for additional redress without further notice.
Would appreciate any advice regarding how I am exposing myself while working under a contract currently in breach.

Originally posted by ITDolly View PostOk, please don't shout at me, I want to know what to do now not how stupid I clearly am.
when your umbrella they have the contract with the agency who in turn have the contract with the client, you are getting paye from the umbrella so your an employee of their even though they will have clauses stating they will not pay until they get the money, it should be them that chase the agent but they never do.
Umbrella companies do not do anything you cannot do yourself when limited so take them out of equation altogether, yes going limited is scarry and there is little more paperwork but if you go via one of the recommended specialist accountants (Nixon Williams, SJD) its pretty straight forward and you have more control over your money and you earn more, so unless your on a very poor rate go limitedComment

Oh jeez. Relax a bit already.
I've had loads of times where end client has missed the invoice deadline and the monthly payment doesn't go through until the next month.
4 weeks is nothing.Comment

Umbrella not at fault
My understanding is that umbrella doesn't pay you until they get your pay from the supplier. In your case it is the supplier that hasn't paid the umbrella so you have to go after the supplier. If you are a valuable staff to the client, mention this to your boss. They will be afraid of losing you or you not being able to perform your best, and a call from them to the supplier is the best approach.Comment

You are bound to your umbrella company because it is your employer. Your employer pays you, while you should explain it to the end-client because you may have to withdraw your labour, you don't go after their customers (the agent).
Start debt recovery procedures (look up dunning) against the Umbrella company."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

Originally posted by Big Bird View PostMy employment contract with OrangeGenie states that I would not get paid until they get paid. Which company do you deal with?
You mean this OrangeGenie??
http://forums.contractoruk.com/accou...-invoices.html
You were giving advice to a poster and now you're telling us that an unrelated umbrella to this thread who appears to be doing the same thing says in it's contract that it's not liable?
Who do you work for Big Bird?
Or are you getting paid by them on time it's just a coincidence that you're posting here?
As has been said before - you deal with (ie sue) the Umbrella.
(If that clause is true btw, it's a rubbish one and I'd start looking for another Umbrella if I were you...)"I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."
