Got a bit complicated on the legal jargon but nub of it is whats been done is totally illegal even though I signed the contract. The lady used other words to describe whats been done but I think best not repeat them in polite company. She said its up to me to show the letter to whoever so I'll put it on here when I get it for everyone to see it. Oh and still nothing back from FCSA!
With luck it will result in FCSAs name having the reputation it deserves rather than what it pretends to be

you can do as Cojak states but the FCSA will do the sum root of f*** all.
Just 3 months Can't believe that's all you get considering you get 3 years to claim for relatively trivial things in other types of business.
For anyone interested, here's a link showing that 3 month time limit and some other interesting ones.

Ive got an appointment tomorrow so might find out more and i'll share that as could be useful.

But remember the FCSA do not regard contractors as their customer, they regard them as a product and part of the service they sell to an agencyLast edited by eek; 22 April 2021, 13:33.

Originally posted by Pturner View PostI hope you guys can help me again. i ended up going with an FCSA umbrella in the end as that seemed best and went for what seemed a big one which you will all know but left after about 3 months as service was shocking. anyhow that not the point of this. I've seen bit going round over holiday pay and last night finally got round to checking my payslips and there's no holiday pay. So rang the umbrella this morning as i didn't take a day off and they said not entitled as I've waited to long and the contract means I can't no longer claim it. So done some more digging and seems this practise has been out there for way before the BBC outing of the scandal on this website https://savenhsworkers.org/fcsa-holi...y-scandal.html
Do you guys know if there's a legal route I can go down or what is happening behind the scenes at the FCSA or anywhere else for me to get what's due to me? its about £800 so its worth going for.
you can do as Cojak states but the FCSA will do the sum root of f*** all.

I would put in a complaint to the FCSA about the umbrella, describing what you've just told us.

Let us know if you get a reply to your complaint...
