When self-billing goes wrong :suicide:

[RichardCranium]

The Job Centre couldn't get their head around the outstanding payments I'm waiting for.

Neither can I.

ClientCo's process is you hand in your timesheet for signing, then never get a copy back. Apparently someone in the PMO types the totals into a spreadsheet and emails it to the single agency.

The agency does self-billing.

I'm using a brolly. (Don't ask.)

I have spent most of the afternoon and evening trying to match everything up.

What a complete sodding mess.

There was a payment made for this week by the agency.

There's a repayment for a part week for no apparent reason.

There is little relationship between the Mon-Sun agency timesheet and the random periods on the brolly's records.

There are weeks when the pay to me has gone up or down for no apparent reason.

This isn't the first time I have had self-billing go tits-up; these admin twats cannot be trusted with contractor's pay.

In future I shall go back to my anal processes and do my own invoicing and checking.

Incompetent gits.

Dear Richard

As you are obviously new to contracting I suggest you go LTD.

If you need any help advice please use the search facility of post on the legal or accountancy forums where some of our proper contractors will help

HTH and good luck

Whose sockie is this?

Dick you've only just got benched, and you're scratching on
And you've not been checking your payments against your timesheets?
For a year

You could be owed thousands.

to you too!

What does "scratching on" mean?

And you've not been checking your payments against your timesheets?

So? The money kept coming in. I kept spending it. Sunshine & lollipops, mate, sunshine & lollipops.

For a year

No, silly. Only 8 months.

You could be owed thousands.

Might be. I can't tell - everything's all over the shop.

Currently, I can't work out why the brolly credited the agency with £3k which should have been going my way and why the agency paid for a week I haven't worked (I know why ... the twat at ClientCo forgot to delete me from his weekly email to the agency) and why the last week I did work has not been invoiced and some other stuff.


Aaaaaanyway. My point was: in future I will be the one in control. Leaving it to admin staff and 3rd party numpties is stoopid.

Just a thought, how about "Wally with a brolly" for a new custom title.
