Employers use agencies to get employees without having to hire and fire directly. The employee should get the rate of pay as advertised by the agency and not get ripped off. The agency is their employer. Some of the agency placements can end up as permanent jobs . Its all down to what the firms want/need at the time I suppose.
 
The agencies take a percentage of the wage, the benefits from the employers point of view is that they dont have to give the usual notice period before releasing staff. I have done loads of agency work and its not for me anymore, need some security in my work now. Really enjoying working at sayers, the staff there are so friendly and the customers seem to like me (some a little too much but i suppose ill get used to that lol). Plus i have been informed that the company will pay for my food hygiene certificate, plus my wage goes up in october. So by the looks of it this job is going to work out well.
 
Really glad things are going well for you, the more certificates you have the better. GOOD LUCK you really deserve to go far:D
