I've been registered with a recruitment agency to get some temporary work over the holidays before I get back to Uni. I registered with the Stirling one (which covers Falkirk, Stirling and Clackmannan) but their Livingston branch was short so I've been doing work for them (West Lothian, Edinburgh and Fife).
Normally I wouldn't mind where I go as I get a travelling /mileage allowance but thanks to one of their staff messing up my details when I registered, I haven't been paid any travelling for three days I did in Fife. Meaning that I've been paid just £100* for three days work, which involved being out of the house for ten and a half hours a day, spending a tenner on petrol each day and a tenner on buying food to make into sandwiches for my lunch.
£100 - £30 - £10 means I've been paid the grand sum of £20 a day for being out of the house ten and a half hours.
What's more, they're not sure if the travelling can be backdated.
To say I'm miffed would be an understatement.
*I should have been paid more than the £100, but they haven't processed my P38(S) form, meaning that I've been deducted tax when I've declared that I won't earn more than £6,475 this tax year.
