Limited Company Worker

[Audz09]

In December I was contracted to work for an NHS trust this was going well , however due to unforeseen circumstances I had to leave this employment due to my husband becoming unwell. There is not statutory requirement to give notice but two weeks is what the employer asks if feasible. I have been struggling to get the agency pay me as I was employed through them. The is issues is I left before I could have my time sheet signed and now the agency is informing me if the manager refuses to sign the timesheet it's not their fault. Where do I stand from a legal perspective?

In the lengthening queue for the foodbank?

Is there any other way you could prove you'd worked the hours claimed?

A million dollar (pound) question is did you opt out or in of EEA 2003 regulations?

If you opted out (most agencies hope you would) you practically signed your rights away. If you opted in, then by law, your agency will have to pay you for the hours worked, regardless of whether or not you have a signed timesheet or whether they get paid by the client.

Opting out of the EEA 2003 is total madness. It has nothing whatsoever to do with IR35. That's one of the reasons why I think many recruiters are the lowest form of life!
