Typical bedwetter liberal response. Don't pussy foot around with this crap - take a hard line.

Walk off-site and tell the client why. Go round the Agency's MD's house and string him up from a lamppost with an appropriately worded sign round his neck. Abduct his womenfolk, raze his house to the ground and plough salt into his garden so nought shall grow there for a hundred years.Originally posted by fullyautomatix View PostRefuse to send the email. Tell the agency you want a dedicated email address which does not contain the word payroll. Stick to your guns and dont back down.

These are the only things you need to worry about. Sending your timesheets to a payroll email address is hardly worth fretting over.

It's an email address.Originally posted by Damon View PostMaybe I should have posted it in Light Relief.
I am not suggesting this is a serious issue, just caught my eye as another example of how they expect us to rollover to their ill informed position of the legal agreements between our organisations that their 'payroll' relies upon.
What was more interesting was watching the thread develop and see the types of attitudes revealed

Which email do you send it from? Your personal one? Your clients one?

So suggest to the agency that they create a new email address for you to submit them to, and a new department if necessary.Originally posted by Damon View PostPayroll!

Employees are on the payroll
