Parasol & lunch & travel costs

Maybe, but I don't need an umbrella. My recruitment consultant should outsource their payroll.

Why should they? If they did, they would have to increase their fees and take on additional uncessary liabilities.

Don't forget though, there are additional advantages of being with an umbrella, not least of which is that they provide all your insurances and take over the HR burden. I'm sure that an agency wouldn't want to reresent you if you had a disciplinary, grievance or tribunal issue to fight.

I was a recruiter for two years (after being a financial aviser for 11 years) and I certainly wouldn't want the extra burden.

Seems like the perfect solution for your situation....

But my employment contract (if I had one) would be with the umbrella... so why would they represent me? Or am I missing something?

God you really don't get this do you?

Parasol would be your employer!!!!! Of course they would represent you as they will EMPLOY you.....

Perhaps you should look at the T&Cs they give you...

>>T&Cs

I wish! Haven't any. I am sitting here working without any form of contract.


If I, as an employee, were to have a grievance procedure it would be against my employer. Parasol.

Parasol have a contract to supply services to the City Company where I am working.

The only grievance procedure could be Me v Parasol. Why would they be representing me against themselves?

I think you get to see the T&C as you start the online registration.

What I mean is if you have a grievance against the end client - they would represent you as you are on a contract of services once you are employed by the umbrella. If you have a grievance against Parasol, their HR department would follow normal grievance procedure and you would have legal protection under HR legislation.

I think that's what I mean anyway!

James you are truly getting boring now with all this...all you need to do is UNDERSTAND THE WHOLE PROCESS, without trying to look smart.

You will be an employe for the umbrella company!!
