Hi ,
I'm an agency contractor. That means I get paid by an employment agency to work in a third party company.
The employment agency currently pay my taxes etc .
My contract is renewed with them every 3 months.
I asked them recently to start paying into a standard PRSA pension scheme.
They initally said yes they'd do it. However they came back to me and said because I'm an agency contractor they won't set up a direct debit with the pension firm.
The pension firm have come back to me and said the monthly payments have to be by direct debit.
The question is is the employer ie recruitment agency obliged to make monthly direct debit payments or not? Or do I have to be a permanent employee for this to happen?
