There you are you can talk sense if you try

Sshhh! People on here will think we're mates...

Well, we are, but you just don't see it.

Whilst you make valid points, my issue was with the fact that "The Agents View" came across as stating "if you're unfortunate enough to have a rate cut it's not our problem nor should it be, as long as we maintain our margin"

Besides, whilst it's true that if the rate goes up you make more, there is a limit to that. Why put all your effort into securing a miserly 5% rate increase for both the contractor and you when the agent could instead be on the phone trying to drum up new business and get a hefty cut from a new contract?

That's if you actually do the cold calling, that is, and don't make the junior agents do it....

Agreed Contract with 60% of real amount agency billed to client

Hi, newbie not only on this site but also as a contractor.
Took a 2 months overseas contract with option to be paid in GBP or EUR, decided for GBP since have to pay most bills in GBP. 2 weeks after start new circumstances, found that agency only pay 60% of the original the client is paying. Now I am willing to ask agency to pay me in EUR. Is it possible, just found an opt-out clause and one week notice period on the contract.

Any advise/help will be appreciated.

Thanks
