BBC Radio 5 Live - 5 Live Investigates, Agency Workers Out of Pocket

Adrian Goldberg investigates the deal which leaves thousands of low paid agency workers at risk of being chased for unpaid tax.

Take a look at your pay slip. If you work for a temp agency, beware of the tax deal hitting low-paid workers and the taxman.
