Just started a contract through an Umbrella; there has been a slight hiccup in that timesheets through the Umbrella and internal (electronic for the end client) are not being matched. Consequently, those invoices raised by my Umbrella are sitting in limbo because the 2 timesheets are not being matched! The payroll team at the end client are trying to work around it, but in the meantime I have not been paid.
As I understand it, both from the Contract I have with the Umbrella and the advice posted here as a "Sticky" (Everything you needed to know about Umbrellas) I should be paid London Living or National Minimum Wage until the invoices from my Umbrella are actually paid by the end client. The difference over my day rate is then paid as a bonus (and all subject to the relevant deductions) once the invoice has cleared.
However, my Umbrella is now saying that they cannot even pay me LLW or NMW until the invoice is overdue! Is this correct? I have challenged them and am awaiting a response....
In the meantime, advice please (be gentle with me...)
