Hi All

Saw a story about agencies which was quite interesting.

It was:

A guy working for an agency got a contract with a company.
The company decide to release this job as a permanant position.

The gut already doing this job applied and got the position.

Now:

The agency the guy worked for then tried to charge a fee for the position. The company would not pay these and had to let the guy go.

The guy took this company to court and the court because he had the job, unfair dissmissal. The guy won the case as the court say it as the agency, even though they were charging the company this fee it was really being passed back as a charge to the employee which by law an angency cannot charge a fee for finding someone work.

Whether this is the scenario gets a temp job and then is offered a permanant position, agency try to charge the company a finders fee I'm not sure.

If a company would not give you a job through an agency because the finders fee wasstupidly high (which they often are) could you sue?
