What is an umbrella company?

An umbrella company offers sustained employment to contractors engaged in fixed-term assignments. Such companies serve as intermediaries between the contractor and their agency or end client. By engaging with an umbrella company, the contractor can maintain their employment status even after the completion of their contract or while seeking new assignments. Additionally, the contractor's employment contract remains valid even if they are working on multiple assignments simultaneously.

How does Unlimited Pay Support process my payments?

Unlimited Pay Support typically receives payment from the client, deducts its fees and taxes, and pays the contractor through PAYE (Pay As You Earn) payroll. The contractor receives a payslip showing their earnings, taxes, and deductions. The client you work for pays the agency for your services. The agency will deduct fee for placing you with the client and pays the rest of the money (sometimes known as the assignment rate) to your umbrella company. This rate is different to the rate you get paid from the umbrella company, because of the additional costs for the umbrella company, which include:- a margin charge by the Umbrella for their services- employer National Insurance contributions- employer workplace pension contributions =holiday pay-other amounts to cover other specific costs, such as Apprenticeship Levy the rate paid to the umbrella company by the agency will need to cover the costs of the employer National Insurance contributions. The umbrella company will use this money to pay employer contributions and not deduct the contributions from your gross pay. The sum is your gross taxable pay including holiday pay and before deductions. Your umbrella company might be involving you in a tax avoidance scheme if any of these amounts are labelled as non-taxable. The gross taxable pay is subject to employee NIC and income tax deductions. Additional payments like workplace pension contributions may also be deducted from the gross salary. The remaining amount constitutes your net pay – the amount you take home. Keep in mind that an umbrella company cannot deduct employer National Insurance contributions from your gross taxable pay. Contact your employer if you believe your employer’s National Insurance contributions or any additional deductions were deducted incorrectly from your pay. If you have any concerns about a payslip from another umbrella provider your dedicated advisor will be happy to speak with you and can ask our specialist compliance team to check it for you and provide some basic advice on what to do to help you.
