Eh? He hasn't done any work. How can he get paid? If he expects pay while waiting for this to clear up he has bigger IR35 issues to deal with.

This happens from time to time. We have had posters on the site that have been canned on their first day whilst sitting in reception so it isn't unusual to get strung along but agent and client.

Do as they ask, chase them regularly but most importantly get applying for roles. You shouldn't really stop applying/interviewing until you are have your first time sheet signed and invoice in IMO.

EDIT : Oh, re-reading what the OP put it is very unclear. I assumed went in was went in to client. Very confusing post.

Thanks for the info.

Do I expect pay? I guess that is one of my reasons for posting, to see what others experiences have been. As it seems to me I was ready to start but the agency hadnt agreed terms.

I am currently applying for other contracts but just seeing if I have any comeback at all.

Sorry if post was confusing, obviously I am much closer to events than anyone else reading it. I will try and be a bit clearer in future.

Did you actually have a signed contract? What does it say? If so, how could they have issued it without having agreed terms with the client? I know stranger things have happened and many agents are not the sharpest knife in the drawer but they usually are when it comes to this kind of thing to the detriment of anything and everything else.
