You are posting on a forum where some of the posters know more about the workings of the umbrella industry than a lot of workers within it (why do you think those umbrella firms pay for "Gurus").
The simple fact is that in the early days a few umbrella firms (Orca) did furlough people but it was hard enough to do it when it was a manual process for which the umbrella firm couldn't charge a fee and became impossible when the umbrella company was expected to pay / contribute towards the NI side of things.Last edited by eek; 6 January 2021, 09:44.Leave a comment:

Just to let you know all Umbrella companies would have to fund the Apprenticeship levy - as this amount is based on the annual turnover - YES furlough counts as turnover!
They would also have to fund Employers NI.
Bear in mind FURLOUGH is a VOLUNTEER scheme no employer is obligated!
I work with many umbrella companies and none of them are doing it ( I work as a consultant for umbrellas)
It is posts like this that are causing unnecessary hardship for staff of these companies. As a contractor (who I do use an umbrella myself) I understand these things happen we all know we are going through umbrella companies to manage payroll and for IR35.
If you want to petition petition the government for not taking care of you not these companies.

Anyway, you've got that the wrong way round. They want the proles to be employed and paying lots of taxes, and the government supporters to use "furlough" as a way of getting income.Leave a comment:
