      I suggest you phone this number during office hours - 0800 917 2368 - and explain exactly what is happening.

      I suggest you explain your case in as simple terms as possible to the person on the phone. Remember lots of people don't know what a contractor is however they do understand about agencies.

      Yes you will have to leave your name, address and number but if you play it right you will suddenly get paid as they can ban the agency directors from ever setting up an agency ever again after raiding their offices.

        Erm... Pay & Rights people? How is that going to help? The agencies page says

        As an agency worker, you have certain rights. For example:

        you must receive the National Minimum Wage
        you’re entitled to paid holiday
        Which we clearly aren't.

        You sure that is the right thing to do? Am confused?

          Otium? That's an odd name for an agency. Doesn't it mean doing no work? Actually, perhaps it's quite apt.

              Ye this company are registered in the Seychelles and thanks for ur link very interesting reading although there are other roots that can be taken.
              Thats why us contractors should close ranks and make sure we rid our industry of these rogues
              My college is owed money by this Company and would like to talk to contracters who might have work through this Agency
