    Umbrella companies, IR35 and the Job Retention Scheme

    Not a member of mumsnet haven’t got time I’m too busy earning a modest living. What is obvious though is that earning ‘100s of K a year’ and good manners don’t necessarily go hand in hand. I say again play nice! There are a lot of very worried people about at the moment. Sent from my iPhone...

    Umbrella companies, IR35 and the Job Retention Scheme

    I disagree. Although umbrella customers are technically ‘employed’ they aren’t in the true sense compared to the permanent employees they work alongside. Even the umbrella companies don’t know how this is going to pan out at the moment so what hope has anyone using their services got! This...

    Covid-19 rescue deal for Self employed.

    Thank you for replying. I contract through an umbrella so they do all my 'deducting' for me. So basically what I'm paid by the company is all 'earnings'. The umbrella just perform the PAYE bit and I get what's left. :wink When this is all over and we're 'out the other side' :banana: I think...

    Covid-19 rescue deal for Self employed.

    I'm thoroughly confused by all of this (I'm sure I'm not alone!) As someone who works as a contractor in the public sector but inside IR35, what am I classed as for the purposes of getting financial assistance should I need it? Employed?

Telephoned first thing this morning to be told that yes they had received payment and that I would be paid later today. Well here we are...
