If the agent wasn't scamming it would be black and white, stick the 9 days in and away you go. All the evidence this is a backdoor job and none that it's being done properly.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

To be honest. I haven't seen anything from this agency that's done "properly". I got an email confirming my timesheets for November had been approved, but when I checked to see who had approved them.. it was an employee of the agency. As far as I can tell, unless there's a communication between the agency and their client which I don't know about, the client doesn't know what I'm billing for!?
How you proceed I've no idea but good to understand exactly what is going on.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

I wouldn't bill for it if outside IR35. Also wouldn't go along with whatever shenanigans the agency is upto trying to sneak those days in.Comment

I'd throw the agency under the bus by innocently talking about it with the client. But then, I'm nasty.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

Reminds me of a sneaky pimp who sent out 3m extension contracts to all contractors without checking with the end client. None of us were extended.
3 years later I'm still getting daily email reminders to sign that contract in my junk mail.

I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

Unless the client and the work are superb, I'd be inclined to move on away from this agency at the first opportunity.Comment
