Renewal/extension of contract but no actual paperwork?

[moony1234]

Tell us why you agreed a rate cut.

I didn't really have a choice, I was told, in not so many words, that if I didn't agree my contract wouldn't be renewed. Oddly enough they dropped the rate the day the contract was due for renewal, not giving me much thinking time either....

Its usually done with a "accept this in the next day or so or clear off"....... because they dont want you "thinking" about it while you try and find something else or have to accept the new rate as a last resort if you cant get a contract elsewhere.

Hi,

I'm in the process of getting my contract renewed for 12 months. Anyway, my agency cannot get onto the system to authorise contract extension. this has been the case for the last 3 weeks. I'm now at the stage were i would like to cut them out, as this is endangering my contract extension.

Just checking the site, it looks like I have grounds to firstly write a letter of complaint, and then possibly to go direct.

The last time spoke with somebody from my agency, they told me they didn't recieve notification of the contract extension, so could not authorise my extension. Now they are saying they cannot get on the system to authorise my extension.

It's looking like I cannot go to work on Monday.

Any advice would be grateful.

Regards
