Hello all,
I used to work about one day a week for an agency and they made me sign up to orangegenie to get paid. My main job closed down in March and this has left me no choice but to increase my hours at the agency.
When I contact orangegenie they always seem to confuse me about what charges they taking and I really do not understand what is going on.
I agreed with agency I was getting paid £9 an hour, but I get far less than this through pay, orangegenie said they take 5% but this does not make sense to me, why I am paying them, surely the recruitment agency should? this means I am getting less than £9 an hour which is not what I was told.
My pay seems very low for the work im doing example for one week:
24 hours worked, agency: , period: 05/04/2015 £216.00
LESS
Margin £10.80
Employment Costs, Including Employer's National Insurance £18.40
Holiday Pay Accrued £15.80
Workplace Pension £1.70
Business Expenses Reimbursed £13.30
Your Employment Income £156.00
So I am paying for the employers NI, correct? (I only earn about 10k a year and never really paid much tax before, as my husband is main earner in our house)
I am paying for workplace pension? this correct? where does this money go?
I also have to pay for my own holiday pay out of my wages?
Sorry for all the questions im just so confused about this all and feel like I am being taking advantage off.
