Spring IT and Computer People Payroll Crash

[dspsyssts]

As this is on-going I have been advised by a CP rep to claim compensation for each day of delay.

What do you think is fair?...25 quid a day?

Check out this website which sets out the interest and compensation you can claim. Late payment legislation and the BPPG Interest calculator.

Also tell the client you aren't getting paid. Depending on the client they will either shrug and say it's your problem or phone the agency and give them a rocket.

WHS

No use standing around for some weeks and then finding there is some major financial issue and you'll never get paid. Get things moving now.

OK guess nobody here contracts with either Spring or Computer People....

Experienced contractors avoid both like they were the plague

And definatly follow this advice, while i would doubt either of these agencys would go under one should never never take the risk (because even big agencys can go under, though rare),because if they do go under contractors are pretty much screwed.

Hiccup's happen, but if an agency cannot sort it in a few days it's not a good sign

I am also having serious problems with their system this month. Really messing me around.

[anyone]

For what it's worth people in Dublin also having lots of issues and all though the local support staff are ok .. the staff based at the contract portal are terrible.

I'd like to know what was wrong with the old system...at least that worked.

I've informed my employer and won't be renewing my contract with them unless this rectified very quickly.

I've informed my employer

I am guessing you mean your client. You are probably your employer
