Title may be slightly misleading, but anyway, I have recently started a contract with a new agency, and all is good.
When I was offered the contract, I was advised that there would be a three week delay in my first payment, this I assumed was to get everything in place, and I was not too happy as I had been out of work for several weeks and money was a little tight. I explained this to the agency, who (reluctantly) agreed to pay me a week in arrears, for three weeks, followed by a 2 week break, to get into a cycle where I am am paid three weeks in arrears. Is this standard practice, I have not come across this in the past, and I am used to paying weekly in arrears.
