Who pays your wages?

Are you being paid through an Umbrella Company?

Here’s what you need to know!

Unnecessary Deductions: Workers paid via umbrella companies often face extra deductions for administration fees, reducing your take-home pay.

Lack of Employment Rights: Despite appearing to be “employed” by the umbrella company, you may not receive full employee benefits such as sick pay, holiday pay, or pension contributions.

Risk of Non-Compliance: Unethical umbrella companies may engage in risky tax schemes, leaving you exposed to HMRC investigations.

If you’re working through an umbrella company, it’s crucial to understand your rights and check for transparent, compliant practices.

Signs you need to look out for –

• Payslips with multiple deductions

• Lower than expected take home pay

• Payments coming from a third party – not your agencies name on your payslip

• Confusing contract terms
