How Umbrella Companies Work For Contractors

What is an Umbrella company?

Bishopsgate offers the UK market specialist outsourced payroll administration, employment, and contractor support services. We can pay anyone you engage within your business removing the administrative and compliance headaches you may currently endure!

The Umbrella company will invoice for the assignment rate whilst handling all the necessary deductions required by law. The remaining PAYE rate then will have the contractors’ personal tax and National Insurance deductions handled ensuring the candidate’s income and tax affairs are taken care of compliantly.

Step 1

The Umbrella company will act as your employer whilst you work on temporary assignments.
\

Step 2

They deal with your paperwork and administration, providing you with a contract of employment and information on each temporary assignment you undertake.
\

Step 3

The Umbrella company will enter into a contract with each agency/client you work on an assignment for.
\

Step 4

The client you are working for will want you to record the time spent on assignment which is usually achieved by the completion of a timesheet. This timesheet is then passed to both the client/agency and the Umbrella.
\

Step 5

The Umbrella company invoices the client on your behalf for the assignment rate for the services you have performed.
\

Step 6

The Umbrella company receives payment from the agency/client and administers the assignment rate under the terms of your contract.
\

Step 7

You will receive a reconciliation statement along with a payslip showing how the assignment rate is broken down showing all income and deductions. The payslip will provide your PAYE breakdown and show the NET amount paid into your personal account.
