    It's fairly standard for expenses to be paid by the agent only on receipt of payment from the client.
    Most clients and agents want separate invoices for them.
    Expenses are treated differently from time - if the first post had mentioned it was about expenses, you'd probably have got a quicker answer.

    I have since received clarification that this specifically covers expenses which talks about approval which I met, but does not mention that the agency needed paying before this is passed back to me.
    It’s not uncommon for expenses to be paid on payment rather rather than on submission.
    There will be a clause about expenses but it’s likely to be vague and only talk about approval in advance.

    What payment terms are in your contract? Ask the agency to comply with them. If they won't tell the end-client that you may have to leave. Do Dunning and then leave if they give you hassle.

    This morning I happened to ask when my first October invoice will be paid and was told by the agency, when they are paid by the client. I am pretty sure I am not responsible for them being paid by the client?

    What does your contract say?
