SSP temp worker employer ended contract

debtdepressed

Yeah i agree. I have been any agency worker and contractor for councils for around 6 years always had contracts, i dont recall me having one this time. I will ask the agency well the HR department. I must of signed something but didnt receive a copy which is strange.

I was employed by a recuritment agency and got paod directly from them. I was classed as a temporary worker for my local council. I tiok copies of my ID into them which they photocopied. Never received paperwork. I wasnt workimg through an umbrella company. The agency paid my wages my holiday pay etc. I have been told i need them to send me the SSP1 form to say why they arent paying ssp. I cant just send my sicknote to the jobcentre as the agency have paid me for a week already. Very confused. Think i will go into the jobcentre tomorrow as HMRC kind of just said i need ssp1 and employer has to issue something about the 12 week rule.

That all seems very haphazard - especially if the client is a council. But I think that's all you can do then - if they won't give you an SSP1 someone must be able to do something about it - you can't be the first time that has happened.

Thankyou for the response.

The agency have finally agreed to send me the SSP1 form in which i can forward to the jobcentre.
Starting to wish i didnt bother going to see my doctor id rather have another few weeks full pay, but DR reassured me i cannot be laid off whilst on sick leave which was incorrect information.

I'm beginning to think that there should be a module in doctors training covering why they aren't employment lawyers!

Doctors should be taught that they are experts in medicine only. Whilst working for a health insurance company I saw several patients who followed doctors' instructions to ignore the insurance company letters detailing what and won't be paid for. They were left with huge bills totalling thousands of pounds on occasions.

In my experience, even that is questionable! Some of the doctors I've come across at times, you'd have been better off with a Haitian witch doctor....
