HELP! Unpaid invoice, recruiter dissolved!
OP, I'd not jump to conclusions but check your contract and see precisely which entity your company signed a contract with. There are references to more than one recruitment organisation at Companies House with the name you specified - the dissolved one being a different office address. An...- monkfish

Roc-search - pointless waste of time
Oh yes SueEllen most definitely and I have my solid case with years of unsolicited email. To elaborate further I have on more than one occasion asked them to desist under threat of reporting as you describe. Not one blind bit of difference, not even when my 550 reject message suggests they take...- monkfish

Roc-search - pointless waste of time
Straight company that ignores compliance? Straight company that ignores compliance? Andy, in my direct experience of ROC-Search the above is, to be frank, bulltulip. FIVE YEARS AGO I required them to remove my details as I no longer wished them to represent me, contact me or otherwise make...- monkfish

Agency in administration - Coal IT
Original link taken from here UK recruitment biz Coal Intelligent Technology ceases trading • The Register I wondered why I hadnt seen many gigs advertised for them recently.

Anyone dealt with the agency Harris-global ... ?
Well, the proof is in the pudding and all that. Time to update my experience of HG. Again, whilst invoices paid promptly, turns out a few problems with their ignorance of the effect of declining to "opt out" plus failures in their timesheet portal. I keep this totally objective and leave it up...- monkfish

Anyone dealt with the agency Harris-global ... ?
Current gig is through them. Whilst it helps that end client is definitely very reasonable I have no complaints about HG when compared to some other well-known agencies. No suprises or traps in the contract they sent me. They did try to send an opt-out, but seemed to gracefully accept me...- monkfish

Contract of the day - its voluntery [sic]
Greetings, Stumbled across this earlier Virtual Instructional Designer Volunteer - Cheltenham Gloucestershire - November-05-2013 (DEcKj) Is this some kind of insane experiment to see if they can get people to work for free, or worse pay for the privilege of working? Doesn't read as any kind...- monkfish

Opt out of Conduct of employment agencies 2003 act?
FFS! When will agencies learn! Just had discussion with pimp over an interesting contract. All over the phone, Pimp: "I just need you to reply to my email for opting out" Me: "Opt out of what?" Pimp: "The Working Time Directive" Me: "Oh right, thats between me as an employee of my Company and...- monkfish

Request to work 12 hour shifts out of hours etc
I'd second this. But think you'd have a weak case having already accepted a daily rate and as you indicate you're already on site. Here's a link for you if you do end up doing out of hours. Takeaway delivery menus - hungryhouse- monkfish

indemnity and liability limits
Good spot finding that - highlighting potential flaw of what agencies expect to be signed without question. I had something similar recently. It was resolved by a statement in the contract something like "the contractor's liability will be capped at xxx in line with the contractor's cover"...- monkfish

Advice Required, Shafted by Agency
Wow. I'd be looking at your contract first in particular effective Start Date and End Date that was agreed. As you made yourself available and ready to commence work on the effective Start Date specified you need to find out what's gone wrong and why the agency wants to move it with no...- monkfish
