Contractor
An umbrella company employs contractors who are working on temporary assignments or fixed-term contracts.
By joining a compliant umbrella company, you can enjoy the flexibility of contract work while still receiving the rights, protections, and benefits you would typically expect as a permanent employee – such as holiday pay, pension contributions, and statutory entitlements.
It’s a simple and hassle-free way to contract with confidence.
Yes – absolutely.
You can choose how you would like your holiday pay to be managed. It can either be:
- Advanced (rolled up) and included within your regular pay, or
- Accrued, so you can take paid leave when you choose.
Your holiday year, entitlement, and how your holiday pay is calculated are all clearly set out in your employment contract. You can access this information at any time via our online portal and mobile app.
Yes. As an employee of the umbrella company, you pay Income Tax and National Insurance in the same way as any other UK employee.
