Hired then fired

The case would easily get thrown out of court on a technicality.

The technicality is that buddy6990's contract is with her/his umbrella company.

So in effect the arrangement is client -> agency -> umbrella company --> buddy6990

Unless the umbrella company gives buddy6990 written permission to chase the agency for money owned then the only organisation buddy6990 can chase is the umbrella company.

I'm sure that permission isn't hard to get if asked for in writing via email.

OK, you got me on a technicality. I didn't read what the chain was, but the principle still applies.

Hmm, maybe buddy should take the umbrella company to court then? Or name the umbrella and the agency in the court action?

There must be some way to get paid, I'm sure the existence of the brolly doesn't mean a worker has no rights at all..
