Agency Not Paying Up Advice Needed

[gtullett]

Hi,
I have a problem with an agency not paying.

I decided to quit a contract a few weeks ago and rather than let me work my notice they agreed to pay me the four weeks, so i left the contract.

Now whenever i try speak to the agency about this i am ignored.

Have had no money and am a month out of pocket.

Not sure what to do next.

Any advice appreciated

The important thing here is not to **** around with these people. Assuming you have made demands then the next step is to go to the small claims court. This usually gets the ball rolling.

You worked somewhere 4 weeks and quit ?

[gtullett]

no had been there for about 4 months, and then gave one months notice, which i was entitled to do, client wasnt happy and they said they would pay me the notice.

Got all that in an email from both the client and the agency

[Mailman]

Good, now go get yourself proper legal advice and dont much around any longer with these people.

Still a pain in the a*se when you just want paying what is owed

To a greater or lesser extent it depends on the contractor. Also did you get agreement from the agency in writing before withdrawing the services in lieu of notice.

At the end of the day you are asking an agency to pay for 4 weeks service that it has not recieved.

As other posters have intimated this one may need a solicitor. I would n't want to call it enough to recommend a court small claims or otherwise.

Yes i got the agreement before leaving otherwise i would have stayed, was quite willing to work the notice.
