Hi - I often read these sites, but never felt enraged enough to contribute.... ...until now!
I am a seasoned contractor and have always been happy with the service I have from my umbrella company. I've been with then for 5+ years and don't have many bad things to say about them. I get paid on time and whilst I might disagree when they reject some of my expense claims, at least they have the decency to pick up the phone let me know.
I've recently finished my last assignment and have found work through a different agency. The agency is insisting that I must use one of the umbrella companies on their approved list, without exception. I've challenged them myself without success. The umbrella company has contacted them too - again without success.
Despite my best efforts, I feel resigned to moving to another umbrella company through the insistence of the agency. Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas why this agency is so attached to using umbrellas on their approved list? Any other advice anyone can offer?
