Transfer to agency

Marcon

OP - you've been asked several times why you don't want to work through an agency. It's up to you whether you answer the question, but it might be worth doing so - it's possible you have misunderstood the implications of doing so and might feel better if someone here can offer clarification.

OP said they don't want to give the agency their details.

OP said they don't want to give the agency their details.

I"d noted their comment  'I don't want to work through the agency, but I also don't want the agency having my details so it seems like I should 'withdraw from my role'.'

But that's not actually an answer to the point I'm trying to clarify - why don't they want to do so? Any employer is going to need their details, agency or otherwise, so it's hard to see why they feel they have such cause for concern.

They may need to look for other jobs via an agency, in which case the agency/ies they use will have their details. Makes little sense, which is why I've raised the point again in case there's a misunderstanding.

Regarding "rolled up holiday pay":
it was not lawful to "roll up" the pay in the hourly rate - that is it was not lawful to simply pay a flat hourly rate which included the holiday element included in it.

However, what the OP's current employer has been doing is different.  They are paying an hourly rate and separately accounting for the holiday.  So in theory they could say they have paid for the hours worked and the extra separate amount is for holiday being taken that week (even if it didn't seem like a holiday!).  That was lawful.

. . .

Seemed surprising that it supposedly was unlawful. Call it 10/hr base rate, then there is an additional payment of 1.80/hr holiday pay paid as two separate items on the payslip.

While you have been working for this employer it would have been unlawful to "roll up" the holiday pay into the hourly rate and so they are showing it separately.
  
At one time it was possible to pay a single hourly rate and claim that it included holiday pay.  Because the holiday was rolled up together with the basic pay rate it was known as "rolled up holiday pay".  I was responding to the use of that phrase by another poster because it was not the situation you were in.
