    P45 Question

    Morning, I am a contractor through an umbrella company. My contract says ten days days notice (both ways) which I provided in writing to everyone (client, umbrella, agency etc) and am due to finish tomorrow. My umbrella contacts me today to tell me I have to do an exit interview with them...

    Not getting paid....heyalp!

    Nine grands worth of invoices not paid for last 4 weeks. OK well thanks everyone for advice, I have emailed everyone kicking up a stink, I suppose I have to put up with whatever they decide and then consider alternatives for my next contract.

    Ok, please don't shout at me, I want to know what to do now not how stupid I clearly am.

    Thanks, I agree. however I've only got two months left on this particular contract so I might consider setting up a Ltd co for new year and being done with all that in between. What I want to know is, without sounding irrational, whether I might be being OTT or burning my bridges by withdrawing...

    Its not the umbrella company. Company I work at > pays supplier > pays umbrella company > pays me. Its the supplier that's screwing up.

Everyone else in the building has been paid except a few contractors and I am one of them. When they did it to me back in January I put...

    Not getting paid....heyalp!

    I have done everything suggested here: - told the end client so they can possibly light their rocket - issued a Letter Before Action we'll see what gets coughed up. I have in writing from the "Financial Controller" of the offending company (from last month when they didn't pay me at all) that...

    Ooh sorry, another question. If the contract is between them and my umbrella company - can I initiate action of any type without involving my umbrella? Sorry, probably a really dumb question but want to make sure.

    Thanks for the links. I will ask my umbrella company what their invoice terms are but to be honest I've never had a problem with them before (I was paid weekly when the agency was Reed) I am familiar with the "Letter Before Action" and I will send them one to cover myself. I sent a breach of...

    Not getting paid....heyalp!

    Hello, I've been a contractor for 11 years and I use an umbrella company (I'm a coward). I was supplied to a client via an agency and had no problems until I had to make a compulsory switch to a service provider as the end client decided on a preferred list. The current terms are that...
