Urgent help needed.
I have been with an umbrella company for a number of years and had a perfectly satisfactory working relationship with them. They respond immediately to any request and have helped in times of drought.
To day I have taken a contract that until we were sorting the final T's & P's I suddenly find they have a P S L arraignment and I'll have to work from a selected list of accountant's They recommend. I cannot use my every day XYZ while this contract is live. I have tried to use one of these PSL's before, but it was pointed out by this agency that this is company policy and helps us to look after the contractor. However doing this as I have tried to use one before, I am the one that looses out, big time.
Right now I cannot afford to say no to this contract so will have to change to one of these useless web based accountants (sorry call center operatives) before I get to sign the contract. However the point is - What are the contractors rights in this and can we be forced to use a web based non accountancy company for the connivance of the contracting agency?
Why is it not my free will to use who I want? and why am I being told "we are part of the ABC group who are FTSE 100 so we have to use these PSL's for auditing.?
