Agencies running the “Average Hours” system will often sidestep and make excuses for why they can’t pay you the full whack this week (after you’ve just done 13 weeks maxed out) and by the time they get around to paying you at their convenience - your payment has already started to waste away…
I pointed this out to an Ashford agency I signed up for once, and I said “After 13 weeks of work, I want the full amount of holiday pay added to my 13th week’s wage packet, and I don’t care how much tax and NI I’m paying on it”.
13 weeks later, and I never got a single shift at this agency, despite them being “over-run” with “ongoing” ahem work.
Just another bunch of crooks exposed!
Jogging on…
