Hi,
I have a quick question and I hope this group being the fountain of
knowledge might know the answer.
I have been contracting via a Ltd company since June 2005 and I decided
to expand our business by employing a few full time staff at the start of the
year.
At the moment I have a full time employee who I am struggling to find
work for and I am trying to outsource to cover costs whilst project
work is slow.
Our employe has been offered contract work but the agency has pulled the
contract at the last minute as he is not a sole trader with a Limited
Company & he stated that he does not work via a Umbrella company. The
agency stated that they don't work with employees from other Ltd
companies as its the agency policy.
Going forward, can we state that we are an umbrella company as we are
processing his PAYE wages, tax, and providing insurances etc, and we
have employed the person full time for nearly a year now, so we are not
trying to do anything untoward.
What else do I need to provide as a umbrella company? The last thing I
want to do is make my employee redundant, but I am in a position
where I can't afford to continue paying wages for much longer.
Thanks in advance,
K
