Rejected petition Stop agencies and umbrella companies charging workers to process their wages.
Workers are being hit in the pocket by agencies and umbrella companies that charge for processing wages. They sign you up on contracts then make you pay employers NI contributions as well as your own, this practice is killing the construction industry and making many workers decide to leave.
