It seems inevitable that I'll eventually need to find the original timesheet and re-fax it to them, but in the meantime I'd like some ideas on how to help them realise their own stupidity for managing to lose a timesheet, and then accusing me of never sending it. Idiots.Comment

This particular agency (amazingly in this day and age) requires contractors to fill in their timesheets online, print them out, get them signed, then fax them to the agency office. I tried pleading ignorance at the start of the contract by sending by email to no avail.
The previous contract was through an S3 agency and the timesheets and billing were entirely online - you fill in your timesheet, an email is sent to the client rep to show them your claimed hours, they click on a link in the email to confirm those hours and you get paid a couple of days later. I'm not full of kind words for the S3 agencies, but their timesheet system is the way things should be.Comment
