Invoice payments are three weeks behind and I have been told that funds have not been released from the client and no date as to when when payments will be made. Client says issue is with the agency they send the money to, and then the agency dishes it out to in my case, a payroll company who then pay me.
Midway through the contract I was moved from the agency (where I was on weekly invoicing with payment the following week) over to a payroll company (which is weekly invoicing with payment 5 weeks later). New contracts were signed but I never received a declaration to opt out of the agency regulations. By default I assume I am opted in so does this mean they, the 'payroll agency' cannot withhold payments because they are waiting on funds from the client?
Is there anything I can do to shimmy payments along or is it a case of suck it up and wait to get paid?
Appreciate any advice and if you need to know more please ask.
