Hi All,
I'm hoping for some advice. Basically what happened was that mid week I rang an agency who advised me there was a position available to start the following Monday. this was confirmed by a voicemail message and text on the Friday with details of the job in central London. I arrived onsite when I was told, which turned out to be an hour before any inductions was done, then when finally finding the contact person was abruptly told he never requested the additional labour, didn't know why the agency sent me, etc, etc.. So after ringing the agency twice to find out what was going on(only to be told they'd get back to me - which of course they didn't) and emailing multiple times(finally with a invoice for the lost days work) have since been informed that I would not be paid as I never worked any hours.
The issue is that I declined guaranteed work(for a contractor I part-time for occasionally) that day so I've ended up out of pocket a days pay and I'm wondering if anyone has been in similar situations and the outcome? I've yet to speak to CAB about it due to lack of time atm, but any comments would be grateful.
Thanks.
