I bet you're in X and the agency is xxxx. You're giving away too many details over t' Internet. (Mods: just to prove my point)

I'm not quite sure of your point, san_d, but as this could go to ET I have removed the name of the company.

Not sure of your point either

You put the fax number of your agency in your post. Even an idiot like me could google the number and get that information. If I was the agency I wouldn't like company details splattered all over the net.

Well Thankyou for taking the time to sit and google that then putting the information up on the site , much appreciated.

Super helpful actually, I've just quoted that at them and I am now getting paid Friday!!! Thanks!!

Wow!

 

I'm really really pleased both that you're getting paid and that I said something that helped! (I nearly didn't bother because it seemed to be not that helpful)

[ims21]

Too many edits going on here.

 

Please use some common sense when posting stuff which can identify people.

Luckily I've just got a perm job starting mid jan. no agency this time.

Wow again. Well done - I'm sure your Christmas will be a lot merrier than it looked a couple of days ago

[Hacked_Off]

Well, I've been moved again. The agency didn't tell me.i should of started half an hour ago!!!

[Hacked_Off]

Well they've sacked me...on Christmas Eve!!!

 

All very convenient sacking me after I lodge a pay dispute!!

[Hacked_Off]

I've applied or a job via ujm as a office junior. Got this email back:

When I click here it takes me to cv library, when I search than me there is no office junior job!! Am I missing something!!

[RaeUK]

I would expect it's just a ruse by a recruitment agency to get more people on it's books ...

[Hacked_Off]

That's the thing though, I'm already on their books!! I've deactivated my account

[san_d]

This is what I (would) do:

 

1) If I have found a job on the UJM website and I have to apply to make my advisor happy, I just click on the "Apply" button and forget. I don't have to reapply again for the same job, it's up to the agency/employer to fill my data into their database. That's what they are paid for.

 

2) If I have found a job on the UJM website and I am really interested in that job, I google the agency/employer and apply directly on their website. There are more chances that my data go directly into their books from their website than just sending an email, which might end up in their spam filter.

[Hacked_Off]

Well,

 

The agency have not paid my final wage or remaining holidays. I have a copy of my signed timesheet and a receipt from the fax machine saying it was received.

[Hacked_Off]

"We sent out the attached Mailer in the post a couple of weeks ago detailing the payroll deadlines and paydates.

 

Due to the 2 bank holidays this week payments will credit your account on Monday 31st Jan "

 

Nothing was received. Surely they can't just decide to pay me late?

[becky2585]

Yes, they can. Around Christmas it's perfectly normal and it sounds like they gave you advanced warning.

[Hacked_Off]

No warning was given?

[becky2585]

They said they posted the warning out to you - therefore, legally you're deemed to have received it, so legally, they did give you warning of the fact.

[LaughingGirl]

Do you actually mean Mon 31 January, or is that a typo?

[Surfer01]

Do you actually mean Mon 31 January, or is that a typo?

 

I was wondering the same?

[Hacked_Off]

I was wondering the same?

 

Must of been a typo on their part I guess. It makes no sense to me that they managed to pay us correctly last week but not this week . Interestingly I've had my payslip today which states payment was made today, which it obviously wasn't.

[LaughingGirl]

Do they pay you by BACS? Could be that if they made the transfer today, it will take 3 working days to clear in your account.

[Hacked_Off]

Not sure how they do it to be honest. My payslip clearly states payment will be made on the 28th. Isn't it breach of contract to pay me late? My contract says "payment will be made one week in arrears"
