Originally posted by ComplianceLady View PostI see. No, never dealt with them. There's a lot of dodgy brollies out there but not hard to avoid them with a bit of DD in my view.
Originally posted by ComplianceLady View PostContrary to popular opinion the main reason Agencies have an ASL is because DD is such a resource intensive task, there's so many 'accreditations' that mean nothing and the risk for individuals making poor decisions is high. An ASL combats that.Comment

Originally posted by ComplianceLady View PostNope, there's a per timesheet referral fee - that's because we know the non-compliant brollies will offer cash to the recruiters so we try to combat it but that's minimal amount.
Originally posted by ComplianceLady View PostSame amount for every member of the ASL and the brollies are chosen based only on compliance and service.
Originally posted by ComplianceLady View PostAny brolly would happily pay a referral fee so the idea that Agencies say 'only use ABC' because ABC pay a large referral fee doesn't stack up.Comment

Originally posted by midlandlass View PostBit of a sweeping statement! I am aware of compliant one's still slipping pre paid credit cards under the recruiters noses!
So those that are compliant and not operating with referrals are ignored?
Even though the referral costs have taken some brollies under as they are not sustainable unless the contractor numbers are in the high figures! For some it simply isn't a financial option, compliance costs an arm and a leg as it is!
I'm not saying it's perfect and can't speak for every Agency but I know ASL's are generally about compliance and the referral fee is a deterrent to the 'bung'.Comment

Originally posted by ComplianceLady View PostI've never spoken to a brolly that didn't offer a referral fee.
