Reply to: Contractor's right with visa issues

[WTFH]

No offence but I don't think this is correct. In my experience, the agency/recruitment company carries out right to work Or visa checks on behalf of the end client so the ball stops on their table. Unfortunately they are not being flexible to accommodate this hence my question

Is he planning to work through an umbrella or through a Ltd?

Two possibilities.

1. It's not up to them, their hands are tied
2. They can do it, but don't want to, because they no longer wish to have a contractual relationship with your friend for some reason. He must have done something pretty bad to not want to continue making money out of him.

Either way, your friend has no redress.

*looks at forum heading* Good, as at 07:10 10/08/2019 it's in General.

Looks like he/she/it will be going home then.

Oh well.

That's what rules are for.

HIs employer can do the check - the question is who is his employer? It will either be his own limited company or the umbrella company he is using - it's not the agent and it's not the end client.

It's not unfair at all. It's the law.

Sounds like the agency are being an ass by choosing not to do the check. Unless they have given a reason why they haven't?

I know, I'm guessing it's part of their policy to see s physical visa

Does the phrase "cruel and unusual punishment" mean anything to you?

You should fit in just fine in Gammon-on-Sea.

Clacton, Bank Holiday Weekend. Some idiot put Greg in charge of the catering arrangements though, so if some sweaty jammy dodgers float your boat, fill yer boots. I'm giving it a miss...
