What if agency went bust?

[JoJoGabor]

My agency has just gone under administration. While I'm yet to talk to administrator and Company on this matter, I wanted to understand what best options available to negotiate with them. There is a company and Agency in between me and actual Client.

As such 2 months payment was due from Agency and 1 month is held by intermediate company. The agency went under a week ago and my contract ends by end of Mar 17. I'm still going to the site and work expected go for some more time.

Any comments would be greatly appreciated!

Why are you still working for a company that no longer exists and will not be paying you (agency)? You need to stop working immediately as you will not get paid either the 2 months they owe you or any money going forwards. I have been in this situation twice and you will not get a penny from the administrators.

Once you stop working you will be in a good position to negotiate a new contract with either the middle-man-company or the end-client.

I can't emphasise this enough - stop working immediately. Nobody will be paying you until you get a new contract

PS forget negotiating with agency. They no longer exist, they have no money and no legal obligation to pay you
