Ya walloper

£10.35ph, over 37 hrs = £388 or so, agency are taking profit margins, holiday pay, tax obviously, company deducations and expenses and i’m coming away with about £180 per week. (yes i know ), i’m £40 for digs/rent and at least about £20 for food, and then another £40 for fuel to work the next week, so by the time that all comes off i’m left with about £100.

I’m on £6.50ph over 39 hours through an agency with all the holiday etc. deductions and I take home more than that

you need to get onto the agency and find out what they are playing at

I already have mate but they’re confirmed I’m on the correct tax code and all the rest of it, I’ve queried it several times but they seem to think it’s okay. To be honest I’m a little frightened to threaten them to fix it or I’ll go but I know that I’ll struggle to find something else whereas I know they will/can replace me 10 minutes after I’m gone.

[stagedriver]

Theres absolutely no way you’ve worked that out right.

The agency charge the customer anything extra.

You get a gross wage minus between £50 - £100 NI & Tax per week (You’ll pay less at first because it’s first job in a while)

So I’d anticipate clearing about £250 a week after tax.

Mate, the first rule of working for an agency is to never believe a word they say. If they told me it was raining I wouldn’t believe it 'till I’d looked.

You’re being shafted for sure-you MUST chase this up…they are stealing money from you and they are bang out of order…NEVER, EVER let them pay you A SINGLE PENNY less than they owe. I would chase them up for 10p if they owed it me…and that way they don’t try it on…

I would start by contacting the tax office and find out what tax code etc. you are. Most agency owners couldn’t work out the cost of a bus ride, let alone the cost of tax…notice how the error is in their favour not yours? A typical agency ploy mate and you have to sort this…

[sam_millar]

Well I’ve phoned both the agency and the payroll company they go through and both confirm everything should be in order… pretty sure my tax code is 810L.

I’m booking some paid holiday to get out of there as it’s stressing me out. At least that way I can divert my full attention to looking for work again.

Tax and NI contributions are roughly 25%. For the £388 you quoted Sam, you should be getting roughly £300 of it in your pocket.

Somebody is having your pants down lad… and to the tune of £120 a week! Time to get your Grandma involved I think. She’s had a busy weekend but I’m sure she’ll be able to help you, it is her Revenue & Customs after all.

Sam, does your payslip actually show a gross pay of 388, with a set of deductions that take it down to what you’re actually getting?

Or is your gross pay shown as much less than 388?
