Hi,
I am employed through a large well-known recruitment agency and have been completing various external assignments and contracts with their through them without issue for around a year.
Prior to my most recent employment contract (still employed here) I was sent the normal assignment confirmation email detailing my position, location and most important my hourly rate, this was shown and confirmed in the confirmation email as $37/hr. After having worked my first week in the role I logged in as normal to complete my online timesheets and saw that my hourly rate had dropped by $10 per hour to $27/hr. I was not informed of this change nor did I consent to it.
I contacted the agency and they informed me that the originally confirmed rate was a clerical error on their behalf and there was nothing they could do to bring it to the previously confirmed rate, or any higher for that matter.
What are my options here? I need this job so cannot leave, but I also feel I have been unfairly treated as I am now standing to earn approx. $2500 less over a 5 week contact.
Thanks,
