The hassle free
umbrella company
I’ve never had a problem with Contractor Umbrella or with any staff. I think that says a lot – I have been paid on time at the correct rate and never had a problem in 3 and a half years. Payslips and pay statements arrive promptly as do P60s and my pay gets into my bank as soon as you tell me it’s been paid. I have used the Rewards programme and saved over £1,000 which is a good benefit.

It’s really quite simple. You sign a Contract of Employment with Contractor Umbrella, and we sign a contract to supply your services with your recruitment agency or end client. Once you begin work, you’ll need to complete a timesheet through Contractor Umbrella and have your time authorised by the agency or client – once this is done, we’ll invoice them for your time. When we receive payment for the work you have completed, we’ll pay you under the PAYE system (with all applicable taxes deducted) and email your payslip to you. If you have questions at any point, you’ll have a dedicated Contract Manager who you can contact.
An umbrella company provides a solution to freelancers and contractors who don’t want to deal with the administrative burden of self-employment, and for whom setting up a limited company is uneconomical or undesirable. By acting as a single, continuous employer throughout multiple contracts, an umbrella company pays contractors under the PAYE system like permanent employees. This removes the need for contractors to complete a self-assessment tax return (assuming no other sources of income) and drastically reduces time spent dealing with admin – leaving contractors and freelancers free to get on with their jobs.
