I declined the new scheme as soon as it was offerred, but they didn't pay all current monies,as expected , in January and said it would be paid at end of Feb. At the time I told them it was unreasonable for me to have to wait since they should have paid in January but was told they only run payroll once a month!
Guess what they didn't run payroll in Feb as it had to be run manually due to new systems and they could only deal with people who had transferred to the new scheme!
Having waited until end of Feb, the money is now not available due to their having liabilities!! What about their debt to me and others in the same position?

Doesn't PCG PLus membership cover you if the client goes bust, or is it only the agency?

Total guesswork, but I'm assuming the reason they're bartering with you is that the money has already been committed to the EBT, and now that you've declined that and asked for PAYE, they're unable to get the money back from the trust so they're having to fund it in some other way. So the money you would have got from the trust is sitting there in your name forever unclaimed, and they're out by however much they have to pay you.
Pure conjecture though, I may be way off.

30-50% - if you got 50% you'd not be that far off what you'd have got through PAYE (I don't think) as you'd have to pay their fees on top of Tax and NI. 30% is a different matter though.
For what it's worth, if I were you I'd take what you can and get out of there before the end of the tax year, so at least future SAs are less of an issue. I say that armed with less than all the facts of course!

[QUOTE=meanttobeworking;I resigned from Edge mid-December .[/QUOTE]
Thats why you managed to get all your money. Although I asked for November / December invoices to be paid through PAYE at the end of January they said payment was recieved too late ( which wasn't true as they had November payment in December).
But the agency I work through was arguing over termination of the contract - so Norla / Edge held off paying and are now offering 30- 50% of the money they have had from Norla.

I had a good relationship with the client - I resigned from Edge mid-December and continued working directly with my client.

Norla said they had assigned all existing contracts to Edge but I have seen no evidence of that.

Just need to work out what to do for next year's SA now - apparently they have someone that will do our SA for us but I'm unconvinced at the moment.

If you get a new employer then you complete a P46.
Then wait for the tax office to assign you your tax code (which normally takes months) and then wait until you do self-assessment next year for any over paid tax to be paid back.

HI I am also chasing money owed from Edge! This week I have been told by Edge they will not talk to me unless I sign a non-disclosure agreement. They say this is because there are commercially sensitive issues involved! I have pointed out they are my employer and should be able to speak to me. They did say that they would decide if, when and how much I will get paid.
The problem is not only the getting the money its getting the P45.
On friday Norla Norla no longer answer the phone and have a message saying they have ceased trading and their website has been removed.
Does anyone want to join forces to take legal action to pursue the money?

me 3 they owe me £4k, Edge are giving me a load of Bull about how he doesn't have my details in front of them and he can't tell me how much or when they can pay me.
today Edge told me to go back to my top level agency and get them to claim the money back from Norla as a creditor - why i was getting paid by Edge not Norla, my payslips are all Edge nothing to do with Norla.
i just see this as they are trying to bull 5hit me out of my money as they think they can run with it and no one will get them as Norla have collapsed

That sounds like Norla and Edge from Isle of Man. I'm having same problem.
