No. 9 The Compliance Files - Professional Employment Organisations

No. 8 The Compliance Files - Understanding your payslip.

No.3 The Compliance Files - Umbrella Companies and Payroll

No 2: The Compliance files - Holiday pay when using an umbrella company.

In this first in a series of discussions Crawford Temple from Professional Passport and Dave Chaplin from IR35 Shield explain what an umbrella company is.

All umbrella companies should return similar take home pay as they should all follow the same tax rules. Contractors still seem to be chasing the high returns with the false assurances of compliance.

Umbrella holiday pay has become a major focus in recent times so we clarify our position on this key area.

With many workers moving from their own limited companies to umbrella providers as a result of Off-Payroll reforms we look at the importance of clarity around the rate.

Following recent cases we look at the area of matching holiday pay for AWR.

We are still seeing an increase in the number of offshore umbrella providers operating in the market and advise extreme caution to any organisation considering one of these providers.
