Which bit of it do you think is not legal? Which laws did you believe have been broken?
If you are on an FLC you could be right....Last edited by northernladuk; 16 March 2015, 21:30.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!

Can you let us know whether you work through a recruitment agency or directly with an end client?
Can you confirm whether your daily/hourly rate has decreased or whether your colleagues earnings have increased?
Do you have a contract of employment with your umbrella company?
More than happy to try and help but can you please let us have some more information
