We are an accredited member of the FCSA. This means we adhere to their standards of practice and ensure our payroll is run in alignment with all applicable laws and we operate completely transparently. A typical example of a “non-compliant” umbrella company is one who offers reductions in the amount of tax you would pay.
They may offer to advance a portion of your wages and only process the remainder through their payroll system. This would keep your wages below the thresholds to pay personal taxes (or minimum amounts), and the reduced figures are reported to HMRC. This is tax avoidance and HMRC would pursue you for any underpaid tax, if a full year of tax has been avoided or reduced, the tax bill can be significant.
If you’re unsure, you’re welcome to discuss any alternative quotes you’ve been given with us and we can check if they are legitimate and if we’re able to do any better for you.
After 12 weeks of employment, you will be opted-in to our workplace pension scheme administered by Smart pension. You can opt-in to the pension scheme earlier than 12 weeks, but you can only opt-out once you’re in the pension as per government legislation.
There are also multiple pension providers we work with if you wanted to choose a salary-sacrifice pension instead.
If British, we will need either a copy of the photo page of your passport or birth certificate and proof of your National Insurance Number (e.g. a payslip, P60 or P45). Any non-British workers would need a copy of their passport and a share code issued by the home office. Terms are issued for you to accept and after we have appropriate ID and the accepted terms, you’re ready to be paid!
The margin for our service does vary, this is arranged between us and the agency that’s placing you. We can go through this with you at the point of generating an illustration of your take-home pay, call us on 01625 546 610 for further information.
The benefit of working with an umbrella company is you get continuous employment regardless of your assignment ending or if you change recruitment agency. You also have employment rights through us.
We also offer our Rewards Pro scheme which will give you great offers and discounts as well as a level 1 cash plan policy with BHSF and a fuel card. You can discuss this with us on 01625 546 610.
In most instances, you would be paid the Friday following the week you worked. We run several payrolls on a Friday as this is the main payday for 85% of workers, but we do also run at least one payroll a day during the week for payments outside of hours worked, such as sick/maternity pay, rebates, mileage, holiday and any workers who pay an additional fee for “Faster pay.”
Once you’ve been placed with an end client by a recruitment agency, you completed the agreed hours and submit your hours to the end client for approval. They sign off the hours you’ve done and send them to the agency, who collates all timesheets for that week/month and send over to us.
Once we have the approved hours and the money from the agency, you would be run through the system for the Friday payroll. There will be variations to this process, hours need to be submit to us, you’re working for the end client with no recruitment agency etc, we can go through this with you if you call us on 01625 546 610.
Inland Revenue 35 (IR35) was introduced in 2000 to address the “unfair advantage” HMRC believed contractors had over permanent members of staff with regards to personal tax. They would do this by setting up a Personal Service Company (PSC) meaning the worker would be paying business taxes (lower than personal PAYE/National Insurance taxes) and could claim business expenses and pay themselves a salary below tax thresholds and take the rest as dividends.
After HMRC decided this was unfair, they introduced IR35 to determine whether the director of a PSC (the contractor) was offering services to a client that no permanent member of staff could do and without any supervision, direction or control. We will only offer the PSC option if the contractor is cleared by the end client and recruitment agency.
