poacher3161 1,766 Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 When you say the money is really good, how much are we talking because the biggest majority only offer £6.08 an hour. New law came into effect last year as well that after 12 weeks they have got to pay you the same rate as the permanent staff, but they could easily end your contract after 11 weeks. SINDASOX Thats wat most of them do and in reality its a bad law for the agency worker but with no shortage of unskilled labour in the job market it makes it better for agencys.

It's on the forks mate, allocating solar Panels to houses to house unloading and loading trailers and putting stock away. Don't think it's bad money for such work.
