    Getting Paid on Time !

    Hi Locums

    A certain large chain owes me for a day's work from 14th July. They agency have been telling me for weeks that they are onto it. Does anyone else wait this long for payment?

    Ask them to pay the standard rate of interest (about 4.5% i think currently) on the amount owing from one month from the date the amount was owed. (That sentence reads like some bank blurb... ). So if they owe you £200 that's approx £20 more over the two months from August 14 to now. Otherwise threaten with legal action...always works for me. No one should tolerate waiting this long to be paid. Takes the P!ss.

    Yeah you're right. It's over £350 as well, so that interest might add up a bit!

    Thumbs down Getting paid on time

    I still haven't been paid for my days work from 14th July. I keep asking the agency I work for to follow it up, but to be honest I don't believe thay are doing anything.

    I have now asked them to send me the telephone number of the person I need to contact - again nothing! Not even a reply.

    When you do eventually get paid make sure that you don't use them again, or if it is the pharmacy, don't work for them again.
    If you name and shame then we can all spread the word that they are a risk.

    How about taking a booking and not turning up.
    Six months later you arrive saying sorry I'm late from the 20th October!

    The thing is they usually pay within a reasonable amount of time. They also pay over £350 per day which is good. I don't know what's gone wrong this time.

    You must tell me who they are for when I want to cut down to 2 or 3 days per week!
