Newbie - Refusing contract extension

[LondonTube]

Hello,

I just wanted to give an update on how the situation was sorted out in the end. Since I wanted to avoid leaving the client (and the client wanted to avoid me leaving), we could set up an arrangement where my payroll company was invoicing directly my client and then paying me and paying the Agency their margin.

So basically everybody is making the same money than before but the flow of money have changed. Let's see how this works from now on...

Thanks to everybody for the advice provided

Sounds like a win all round - especially for the agency

Good that you've reduced that risk and kept the contract though, although I'd next be looking to reduce the agency margin since they are doing absolutely nothing (compared to the next to nothing that they were doing before!)

Would the agency refuse reducing the margin saying that they still have to do the same work as before, so no difference in margins

Some agencies are up the creek tbh.
