Getting Paid For Inside Roles

[Protagoras]

The question is about 'inside' gigs. However non-assessed and outside gigs may also be paid via the models identified.

Brollies increase risk.
- Via the umbrella model, the worker provides the supply chain with personal credit while in the event of non-payment, the brolly's liability is limited to (hours worked * NMW) + holiday pay.

If ltd was an option for inside role wouldn't it give us more flexibility, e.g. salary sacrifice for a car? I still don't understand why umbrellas don't offer it.

Just to clarify, are you asking:
* Why don't umbrellas pay money to your limited company?
Or:
* Why don't umbrellas let you do salary sacrifice for a car?

My next post gives a hint.

1) Because they can't - they would end up being caught by the MSC legislation (I have rather expensive legal advice to that effect)

2) Because no leasing firm wishes to do it (although I should check with the new MD of Amaze as he seemed to be getting close last time I spoke to him).

A properly audited umbrella shouldn't - the issue is where an umbrella is (quietly) paying people before the agency pays the umbrella and then "something" occurs.

I think there's also an issue where the agency doesn't pay the brolly - then the worker cannot recover all losses.

I would expect any umbrella not chasing up payment to not get very far long term.

my issue is more the risk of contagion - where something that has nothing to do with you results in you losing out.
