Fortunately Agency B released me from contract with no consequences and agency A is passing the difference on.

Did you opt out of the Agency Regulations?
Did the agency do everything correctly if they did getyou to opt out?
If you didn't opt out then you quite both agencies for a lesser fee than 15K, I think it is the agency margin over 13 weeks which would be the cost and then go direct - if the clienttakes direct contractors.

Currently I have two agencies between me and the client. Agency A is the preferred supplier for the client, and Agency B was used because A couldn't find a placement (me).
I want to get rid of B. They've had over 3 years out of me and do nothing other than payroll. Not even a lunch unless I push them.
There's a 'restrictive covenant' clause in the contract which states any transfer to another employment business with the same end client, or customer of the end client, in the same or similar role, requires a 25% of annual salary or £15k fee to be paid, by the supplier and representative.
Would this hold water? I don't know if being a PCG+ member would help at all.
Thanks

I am in the same situation, not much you can do realy, if Agency B got the work in the first place and your contract says you cannot work direct. and presumably they pay you on time and they cause you no bother
your only option is leave or renegotiate the rate
and as others say 3 years in is a bit late in the day to be worried about it now

If you've been there three years and you're just getting discontented now then is it REALLY a big enough issue that you want to mess around with contractual terms?
If you're happy with the rate and payment terms, Agency B is happy with their cut, Agency A is happy with their cut and the Client is happy with you and Agency A's performance then why mess with a relationship that works?

And why do you think PCG Plus would help? Obviously use the members' free legal helpline or post the question on their fora to get an authoritative answer, but that's it.
