Yes I have had this with a major IT company
Not a problem at all as rate and conditions were all agreed with end client before agency came in. It helped also a lot to get paid within a week after invoicing in stead of waiting the 90 days that they normally useComment

Like others have said, assuming they're reputable, I'd probably prefer dealing with the agency as they'll agree to resonable payment terms. Bare in mind you've already agreed the rate, so it's not like the middle man is costing you anything.Comment

That goes double if the client is a large multinational: you may well get another contract with another branch of the client and there is no reason to be tied to that agency for the future.Comment

Have they pushed you to a particular agency or do they have a PSL for you to choose from?The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment

I personally would rather have a few things spelled out so would not accept a bare PO, expecially as it will have the client's standard terms and conditions on the back which will be a) extremely disadvantageous to YourCo and b) almost entirely irrelevant to contract roles.

I was a little naive at that time, however had worked extensively with the client before, so didn't forsee any issues (late payment withstanding).The Chunt of Chunts.Comment
