They care only about money not about workers or clients. Today they "informed us with pleasure" about "pay rise" - we have 3 grades which were paid differently, but from this tax year they will pay the same amount of money (minimum wage) for grade 1 and 2. Grade 3 (highly educated workers) will be paid only about 0,25 pennies per day more than the last year. It means 5 extra GBP per month, if you work every single day without break. How company is not ashamed about this??! On top of all, they are charging for the accommodation (8,2 GBP) per day. Do they understand that as PA we HAVE TO stay with the client? If we have a choice, we would rather sleep somewhere else where we don't have to be available for the client. Instead of being charged for the accommodation, where we are obligated to stay and work!! They are charging for the accommodation in the client's house, how this can be legal? Company is not the one providing us with the accommodation, it is the client. They are not giving accommodation money to the client or to workers, they keep it. They earn from it about 240 GBP per month for each PA. Many clients don't know that workers are charged for the accommodation is their houses. If they don't give it to workers, they should give money to the client which is paying for the utilities and care!!
Once they charge you accommodation fee, you get paid under the minimum!
Many times inexperienced PA is sent to very hard client. It is torture for both PA and client.
The only good thing about this agency is flexibility with work. If you don't need flexibility, run away from here and go to some better paid agency or private, it is not hard to find!
