Just got an email from an agency I used to work until 31 March saying that:
Just to add - they are paying me weekly but each week payment comes with a 1-month delay.
I am wondering what are my options as I have a strong feeling it won't be just two weeks delay but will last longer than that? Is any way how I can demand and enforce payments from the recruiters if things go wrong?
Payment delay
We are extremely sorry to inform you of a necessary delay in our payments to you for a short period.
The cause is due to a knock-on effect of our customers delaying payment to us during the current crisis.
We are actively pursuing additional funding via the Government schemes and hope very much that this situation is only temporary.
We will not be able to process your payment due this Friday 17th, or next Friday 24th. We do however anticipate being able to resume these payments on a weekly basis after this to ensure your balance is cleared progressively in May.
Our sincerest apologies for having to implement this delay but it is due to the exceptional circumstances we are all experiencing.
