650 FTC is more or less than 650 inside IR35

[eek]

Having just finished an inside Ir35 gig - the perk of FTC for me would be getting paid on time without a lot of faffing about.
Umbrella co were excellent at coughing up once paid but Agent kept claiming not have had invoices/timesheets etc etc - they also tried to get me to agree to 30 day terms (so 60 days to first payment). It was all hassle I don't need - ironically I never had issues getting paid on time when I had my limited co.

Sounds like a typical agent to me - was your umbrella on their PSL or someone else.

I chose my own Umbrella (Clarity) who were excellent - the Agents were disorganised and useless.

Shall we just say that getting on a agency’s PSL often requires subbing workers money to hide an agency’s incompetency.
