Hello does anyone know much about these people in Felixstowe ? I only ask because today is my first day on Class 1 since around 1 year ago. I have been out of work due to a rare disease I had contracted so I’m very nervous as my reversing wasn’t that great on class 1 even 1 year ago. The firm before that went into administration then I got the disease so it’s been abit of a crap time. I only had 6 weeks experience even back then. This is on Agency through September employed, how do I also invoice the agency please and how do I claim back fuel ?
Any help appreciated to help ease my nerves , the job is shunting apparently and full time so nice and easy ?
Well there’s one thing…shunting is THE BEST WAY to overcome an inability to reverse. By the time you’ve done a week or two of it you’ll be able to put a trailer anywhere it’s possible to get one.
If you’re on PAYE on agency you just send in one of their timesheets, usually to be there first thing Monday. If you’re ltd then you do that but also an invoice for the hours you’ve worked. Really you should have had this sorted before you did your first assignment with them but ring them up and ask what they want and to send you some timesheets if you don’t have any.
If you’re Ltd with the agency you’ll have to be PAYE in April anyway due to IR35 tax rules.
