That's what I said but he didn't get it.

I've always recommended Orange Genie, not sure why but they have gone right down hill, would suggest contractors given them a wide berth.

In what way have they gone downhill?

Just found what I've spent the weekend hunting for.

Can I just say multiple Orange Genie payroll and payment summaries don't seem to add up (and that comes from 3 different sources).

I'm still with them, so will be conservative with what I say.

They had me (unnecessarily according to HMRC) on a week 1 tax code for approx 13 weeks, never did a thing to resolve the matter, it was me who had to make the endless phone calls to HMRC, bit alarming earning £4800 in a month and getting paid £2338, and shortly afterwards £1500 in a single week and only netting £750, had just the one single call from OG when trying to resolve the matter.

After opting out of the worst rated pension scheme (according to FT), previously deducted pensions refunded, yet the payslip makes little sense.

Even now, my weekly pay appears to drop whenever I submit "chargeable expenses", don't understand why I receive a tax rebate on each chargeable expense payslip, which is a separate payslip from my weekly earnings. Usually Net Expected Pay + Chargeable Expense, doesn't equal Usually Net Expected Pay + Value of Chargeable Expense, if you get my drift.

I pour over the payslips, one for expenses, one for earnings, scratching my head how and why have they done what they have and come away with the impression there is clever accounting taking place, not necessarily in my favour.

I consider OG the new Parasol, simply baffle them figures and lingo. Call them up and it's like listening to a script which has you finally agreeing and non the wiser after you have hung up.

To be fair I think we can publish that now

I think that was a joke based on my Orange Genie comment (which I still can't publish but had actually forgotten about as it's only about No 11 in dodgy things umbrellas do (Advance are higher up the list)...
