Anyone worked through this agency recently? The only dealing I had (years ago) was incredibly un-IR35 friendly. Have they improved?

COAL IT? They're okay - I was with them the start of this year. QDOS gave the contract a "Borderline Pass" which, with my working conditions I was happy with. They did have some weird business change half way through (I think one arm went bump or something), but my payments kept coming. Monthly billing and then a couple of weeks lead time on the invoice.Originally posted by dmini View PostAnyone worked through this agency recently?

I didn't have any dramas, though a colleague said that he invoiced and apparently made a mistake. Apparently they didn't tell him and just didn't pay - and then made him wait until the next billing cycle. I'm not sure of the truthfulness of the whole story, but the next billing cycle thing I thoroughly believe.Comment
