That said I can't remember one time where someones Opt In/Out status has made one iota of difference to the outcome so where CP is quite correct in mentioning it I don't think it's worth a jot. If agents don't understand it they certainly aren't going to honour it.
You've a legal right to get paid, you might have to wait a bit but they should eventually get it sorted once they've calmed down. If they don't you start 'Dunning' and mentioning interest on top of the invoice as per the Late Payments legislation. At this point the agent/client get wind you know what you are talking about and pay up.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

OP, if you do want to go for the jugular then here is a great thread on how to do it.

Start using the correct legal terminology and signed for letters they can't avoid will make them sit up and take notice. Agents are very adept in palming you off and ignoring you because many people don't know what to do. As soon as a contractor mentions 'suing' them they'll just laugh their socks off and it's clear that contractor has no idea what to do.
Once you quote legislation that is going to cost them money they'll be on it like a rash.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

Originally posted by Withorwithout View PostI just recall that the invoicing arrangement is Self Billing i.e Agency raises the invoices on my behalf. Can i still do dunning
The commercial arrangement is exactly the same regardless of who is doing the paperwork.
But again. This is something you signed up for so you really should understand what you are signing up for and how it works. More info here.

Now I've got a thing about this. I had a gig once where every time they left it until the last day and often I had to take a day off when the gig ended. Pissed me right off.
I kept telling them and telling them but the client were convinced that I had to give a months notice of not accepting the extension. Nuts or what.
I never left in this circumstance but one guy did. They were relying on him for a huge rollout a week later. They fannyed him about, same as everyone, and he warned them about 20 times. Got another gig lined up on the Friday afternoon apparently, packed up his stuff and left. Didn't turn up monday and client went nuts wanted to sue the agency and him...Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment

Originally posted by Withorwithout View PostMy contract ended last week 25th Jan 2019. The agency had informed me earlier that there would be an extension in place however did not receive any formal extension contract even in the last hours of 25th. I called my agency up and they said that it will come through shortly , however i mentioned i do not wish to pursue any further extension due to personal reasons.
I let my manager know about my decision as well. In the contract which ended on 25th , there was 2 weeks notice clause for both parties. In this situation where i do not wish to pursue any extension was I required to give in a notice?
The agency did not process the extension and hence had no active contract beyond 25th. Few of my colleagues mentioned that there is fear that client/agency may stop my last two weeks payments. I see the time sheets has not been approved yet.
1) Was i required to give in a notice?
2) Are they legally right in stopping the payment for last 2 weeks?The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment
