 Are you paid promptly by agencies?
My wife is a locum pharmacist.
She stopped being self-employed last year and became PAYE with an agency whose contract says that they will pay her each week. Payments are regularly late and despite complaints the position is not improving. She is currently owed for 3 weeks and is being given what I consider to be lame excuses.
I guess it is inappropriate to name the agency (but I'm very tempted!).
How common is this? What should she do? Is this agency solvent?
A good use of the forum (assuming that the administrator doesn't wish the forum to be involved in individual contractual disputes) might be to praise the good agencies. So who do you recommend?
PS My wife has found all her own work from recommendations and through colleagues and the agency has collected a fat fee for a number of years for doing relatively little.
