It begins with 'G' and there's three words, I'm saying no more.

Can they force new T's & C's like this?

If this is not re-drafted I will name and shame.
It's not Parity is it?

flipin outrageous.
Since the bint that does the running around is off for two weeks, I am expecting to get three or four timesheets returned to me all at once.
If the agent then didn't pay, I'd be tempted to torch ClientCo in the middle of the night.

They're very amateurish, they sent me this after I had been working for a week and expected me to sign it:
I hereby state that all my tax and national insurance contributions are being paid by my Umbrella/Limited Company in line with IR35.
I understand that ***** **** ***** are not responsible or liable for the ensuring of the above.
Signed:
I just ignored it and they never got back to me.
I still get the impression that a contract as such isn't worth the paper it's written on. I worked for the best / worst clients and agencies over the years, had a few run ins, walked out of one gig with no repercussions and generally just submitted timesheets and got paid, everybody happy. It's all changed now hence I'm no longer involved and gone are the days when agencies looked after contractors, they forget who pays their wages it seems.
This particular set of T & C's I've never encountered and would never countenance. As far as I'm aware (and I might be wrong), the basic premise is turn up and do the work and you're entitled to be paid, end of. Why leave yourself open to the grief though? Get the terms changed or walk IMHO.

Just drafting a nasty email now, I've explained that my ltd is professional business and expects to be treated as such.
