Weekly Pay

[GlasgowBob]

Hi,

I'm a long time reader and first time poster.

I'm starting a new contract next week and the agency has said they will be holding back the first 3 weeks pay because they will not get any money from the client for 2 months.

I automatically agreed and said thats okay on Friday but have been thinking about it over the weekend and now think it's a bit excessive considering my first contract is only for 8 weeks!

Is this normal?

Your advice and comment would be appreciated.

cheers
Robert

Opted in? If so, they can't - paying you is not dependent on them being paid. And ask them if their cash flow is so restricted that they can't cover an 8-week risk, how can you be confident they will pay you at all?

Good question! This all happened a bit quick and I haven't opted-in or out
If I haven't signed anything to say otherwise I assume I am opted-in??

I am going through a brolly at first so that would suit me.
