    Well apparently the contract with the agency was to pay for my employment which they reneged on...that is the point...
    Cheg is right, morally that money may be yours, legally no way.

    But on the bright side, you'll be the least of their worries, it'll all get lost in the system unless you're very unlucky.

      Well I am not going to work for them one minute longer if they aren't going to pay me for it...and it appears I can get the money back so I am not complaining...

        The only illegal bit seems to be with your old agency who refused you payment. Even if you get it reimbursed by another agency it seems to me they would still be responsible... If you were in the US I would advise to pony up and sue. However, since you are in the UK I'd say look out for number 1 and avoid the guys with funny wigs.
        Its not illegal as they are in receivership. All it means is that no-one gets paid except the receivers and anyone with securitised debts. PH would just queue up like all the other creditors.

        What I am surprised by is that PH can backdate his transfer to another agency, and that GSK can refuse payment to the distressed agency based on that.

            Actually, from a legal standpoint, I doubt GSK can do what it did. It had a contract with your agency, not with you. It still owes that money to your agency, and if your bankruptcy laws are similar to ours, laborers are on the lowest end of the totem pole for getting monies owed them.

            But I'm not a lawyer.
            In the US, laborers are not on the lowest end of the totem pole. Stockholders are. Employee wages are first. Employee benefits/pension plans are further down the list with other creditors, but wages are first.

              And why didn't Imran comment on US labor law? He actually works in the field (albeit as a intern).

                Because Provost is dealing with UK labor law . And I'm not in this field.

                  Oh well I am not entirely sure who is paying what, but I do know I won't be out of pocket either way as there is an obligation to pay me for the work I have done...

                  As I said, that is sorted out too now, they are giving me a permanent position with all the trimmings, so the whole switching of contractor business stuff is a bit of a moot point now

                    I said I have a permanent job with all benefits, bonus, sick pay, healthcare plan, pension, etc, etc in a department that values my abilities and wants to get me up to management level as quickly as is feasible.

                    It can't be all bad now
