agency work

looking to do some agency work but there's only really one company that I want to go to
I get on well with the people who book agency workers at this company and I know the company requests specific people from the agency so should be no problem there

basically I'm going to sign up with the agency just to get shifts from this one company, not interested in getting sent to random places

what I'm wondering is if the agency will have any issues with me doing that ?

can't see why as they'll be getting their cut every time I do a shift but things aren't always straight forward eh!

Don't tell them that's what you're doing and if they offer any where else just turn it down.

Just say where you would prefer to work, but try to be flexible if they ask you to cover somewhere else for a day as they will be more willing to help you out.

Like you say you get on with the people at the place you want to work, so if they are requesting you, the agency will ask you to work there as they will be helping meeting the requests of their client.

I have done this before. Went to a job interview for project work. Got told I would get more money going through an agency.

Went to the Agency signed up, started work. I got more money and holidays than the regular staff :confused:

Unless you are working for Alexander Mann who will hold you over a barrel and try to screw you over at every turn while simultaneously shafting your client also.
