“Lied about EVERYTHING”

written by 437Kilgore on 29/07/2016

Not to blow my own trumpet, but I've never had a problem finding work. A woman I'll refer to by her initials as VI contacted me from Reed and sent me forward for a job I was reasonably interested in... I ended up getting the job!

Then the problems started. VI assured me I'd get a basic of £23k which was what I needed to pay my mortgage- when I got a call from the Umbrella company they use to pay me, I found I was on 20k. Unhappy and really worrying, my employer advised I take a few more hours which I did and on the £11 a hour, I was due £22,800. I did some research into Giant (the umbrella company) and I asked VI to put me on her own payroll as Giant take over £100 a week from me. VI had actually never advised about the Reed payroll, I found out from another employee about it and they explained that the recruitment agency get commission off my wages if I pay via Giant. Ha!
VI took her time setting me up on Reed payroll and then told me that she couldn't pay me £11 per hour like her email stated. I was now on £10 and there is nothing they could do about it.

I'm now not going to be able to get my mortgage sorted. VI knew this and has done nothing to help. She lied about the pay package. I was never told this position was only temporary either, and this caused me so much stress and anxiety for myself.

Avoid this recruitment agency like the plague. They trick people, sell your details onto third parties and I'm quite concerned as to where my details have ended up. Not only that, they lie about the jobs, the pay packages, the length of your employment and are very evasive with information.
