Have I just agreed with DA?
Banks always insist agencies take a set margin.
Some of the contractors on here are so righteous and so ******* naïve it beggers belief. Factoring is one of the biggest costs there is.
If an agency takes the risk, it could be ages before they are paid. My company has pushed companies out to two months after invoice, and that's on an invoice after a month (so effectively three). The contractors with the agency I used bitched because a couple of days after they got invoice they hadn't been paid by the agent.
One threatened to not come in. I told him not to waste my time as the hiring manager and if he says it again he'll be gone by the end of the day.What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment
