Agency requiring use of the Number Mill prior to April for PS Client

[RonBW]

Reading that page they simply seem to be offering a PAYE payroll solution for agencies that don't want to have to run it for themselves. It doesn't appear to say anything about how it would benefit the contractor involved or provide any form of insurance or protection from IR35 beyond the fact that you;d be paying full PAYE and NI and thus treated as firmly inside IR35.

Personally, I'd walk away and tell the PS client it's because of the IR 35 changes and the forced use of this "service" by the agency.

It's not quite clear (to me!) exactly what they are offering - they do all sorts of things with PROTECT, looking at the bottom of the sidebar.

Not knowing what it is, and faced with an additional cost that I didn't want, if there was a viable option elsewhere then I'd walk away as soon as possible.

If anyone still wants to know the answers to these questions about Protect, let me know and I'll do a quick write-up. Don't want to bring a 3 month dead-thread back to life unless people are actually interested.

Thanks Andy, she'll be chuffed to hear this.
