I am currently contracting under an umbrella company, things have gone fine so far.
However, last week they paid me (as usual) on the Thursday. Then again, the same amount the following day.
Thanks a lot, but I smelt a fish so called them to let them know.
They'd had some system glitch (more likely human error) which meant that all payments had been duplicated for last week. No problem, says Brolly, they'll simply deduct the net paid amount from this week's payment.
All sounds good to me on the face of it, but now I'm thinking I have paid their margin (and Employers NI) twice for the same week - Have I been shafted?
