      You have just discovered the reason I hate umbrella companies, when things go wrong they have a habit of really, really going wrong...
      I have - I've called OG's contractor support team repeatedly and they keep saying they haven't received anything still and that they're 'chasing it up'. When I asked if it would even be sorted this week they gave a very 'meh' response like they didn't even care.

      Also, I know! I wish I could still invoice via my limited company, those were the days. Damn IR35.

          What has that got to do with the actual issue here which seems to be:-

          Agency has paid or claims to have paid Orange Genie but Orange Genie are saying that they haven't been paid.

          I find the fact that Orange Genie aren't able to say whether the money has been received or not rather worrying - it's just about the first thing I would have automated..

          And I really don't think any umbella would have T&Cs that make them responsible for £1350 (4 * 37.5 * £9) in return for a £90 a month payment

            Hopefully the OP will confirm whether this is the case!

              Yes you should get the full amount once received however you will need to check the terms and conditions in the contract.

                and in fact

                That's another question to add to the list of questions to ask an umbrella company.

                What are your contractual payment terms? - if it's not on same day or following day of receipt of payment move on to the next firm.

                  Yep, that's terrible. Allowing for an Agency's payment terms, it could be 60 days from timesheet sign-off before you get your money.

                    I think people have misunderstood this point.

                    The OP probably means that the payment terms OG has with the agency are 30 days. I doubt any umbrella company has a policy of making payment to workers within 30 days once cleared funds have been received.

                    Everyone I've spoken to say that payments to workers go on the same day funds have been received by the agency, or the next day if the cut off time has passed. There is absolutely no need to hold onto funds longer than that.


                    Kind regards

                      True, but you never really know until you see the contracts.
