Billing for travel time
I don't know what their contract with the client says, we will be talking with the client soon, but they are not really at liberty to discuss the ins and outs of their contract with the agency. My contract doesn't specify any more than the daily rate, and that expenses will be covered by the...- Ben81

Billing for travel time
If anyone remembers my last thread you will probably realise I am having troubles with an agency. So, are an agency legally allowed to bill a client for my travel time, but not allow me to bill them. This is something that is yet to be proved, but I am required by my agency to record my travel...- Ben81

Is there any legal limit on how big a cut an agency can take
Fair enough, I will bow to your greater experience on these matters, I am still a bit green to all of this, and tend to avoid getting involved in that side of things where possible.- Ben81

Depends on the circumstances, if you have the choice of paying someone twice as much who is an expert in the field, or someone who is a bit rusty, and may need a bit more time and support at the start, then depending on the constraints of the project and the skill sets available to support the...- Ben81

Is there any legal limit on how big a cut an agency can take
By the time I found out how much the client were paying for me, I had already been there for a few months and they were more than happy with the work I was doing, but at the start if I had known how much I was costing them, I would have felt even more stupid asking so many dumb questions.- Ben81

Great advice, and it will be taken in the future, unfortunately I have been too soft with this agency, and I'm not taking their BS anymore.- Ben81

Next step is the solicitors, but I was just curious if there was another legal issue that may encourage them to sort it out before solicitors got involved, which I don't want to do, so the threat of added legal issues might spur them into acting. Anyway thanks all for the advice.- Ben81

Is there any legal limit on how big a cut an agency can take
I was happy with the rate at the time, under the understanding that I was being charged out at a lower rate, basically I had been out of the industry for a while, and this was a way back in, and the client were taking a chance on me and were being charged a lower rate because of that. As it...- Ben81

Hi, I have registered in the hope someone can answer this question or give me some guidance. I have been aware for a while that on a contract I did for an agency a while ago that I was receiving less than 50% of what they were charging me out for, I am just wondering if there is a minimum %...- Ben81
