Umbrella Co's that pay on reciept of timesheet

[dave46049]

Hi,
I getting a bit peed off, I submit my timesheets to my umbrella company and the client I'm working for - over the past couple of weeks one or other has mis-laid info and I'm continually chasing the payments to ensure it gets into my bank account.

Is there a company that will pay ME on reciept of my timesheet regardlass of when they actuall get the funds from the Client ?

I need to know your agency and your current umbrella before I can answer that one.

Giant have a relationship with certain agencies where you fill in your timesheet online with your agency fax a signed copy to the agency. The agency then sends authorisation to Giant for them to raise an invoice and pay you.

It might be worth you checking if Giant can do this with your agency.

Dave,

You have forgotten one party in your chain: the agency.

Most agencies will pay you (or your umbrella if you have added an umbrella company in the chain) even if they haven't invoiced the client yet. I believe it is a legal requirement on them not to withhold payment to you when they haven't yet collected payment from the end client. Which is just as well since very often the client-agency relationship is a true business-to-business relationship where invoices are paid up to 90 days after submission. And you don't want to wait for 90 days to get paid, do you?

So, to answer your question: the end client is not really involved in the non-payment of your invoice, so it's no use involving them. If there is a dispute between the umbrella and the agency, then it is either the umbrella company who's cocked up the invoicing, or the agency that is creating a problem.

In summary, two points:
1) the agency will pay you even if they haven't been paid by the client (as long as they have received a valid timesheet and invoice from the umbrella).
2) no umbrella will ever pay you if they don't get paid by the agency. They only pay when they have been paid.

Wrong.

Giant will in exactly the circumstances I have mentioned.

Do I ask you to elaborate on your “thow shalt not….” Rules JC?

No need to elaborate. It’s an absolute rule.

Never, ever have anything to do with Giant.
