    Outside IR35 Offer but no Ltd Co

    I think that is sound advice and probably the best route.

    Outside IR35 Offer but no Ltd Co

    That is what I was thinking if there is an SDS.

    Outside IR35 Offer but no Ltd Co

    I have been browsing the forum but if anyone knows of any threads that may help. I have an Outside offer on the table for a role. I have 4 months left till I can open a Ltd Co. I really did not want to trigger it and start a Ltd co yet as had taken time out to rest and done some work under...

    Agencies more and more enforcing their own choice of Umbrellas

    It must be kickbacks and the umbrellas they do not do the "handshake" are being left behind. Am checking now on flexibility on umbrella before starting engaging the recruiters. New addition to the checklist.

    DANBRO: Umbrella Company

    A quick search found a mix of good and a few bad reviews but overall looks ok: https://www.reviewcentre.com/reviews155406.html https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/www.danbro.co.uk

    Agencies more and more enforcing their own choice of Umbrellas

    Found some very old posts on this in the search but a mix on more recent stuff. Feel free to kill this post if too repetitive. I am looking for new work and the calls I am getting more and more agencies are giving me a limited choice of Umbrellas to use. They seem to be the big names but I...

    Where to turn with Umbrella issues?

    Bit of creative licence taken there. :laugh More I did research. Picked one that the agency would allow me to use as they were FCSA approved but am monitoring them to make sure my decision was OK or if it was a mistake. :grin​​​​​​​​​

    Where to turn with Umbrella issues?

    Thank you. ? Have to say I don't know how you do it. One payslip stumped me and left me scratching my head for days. ?

    Where to turn with Umbrella issues?

    OK so my thinking is correct then. I just could not work out how they got their figures. I think I've paid £42 over but as you say it's not the end of the world in the grand scheme of things. It is really understanding how they work things out as I want to keep an eye on it all. I know I'm...

    Where to turn with Umbrella issues?

    lucyclarityumbrella I think after a lot of thought I figured it out. Payroll is not something I'm hugely familiar with. So the umbrella company has bulked my weekly timesheets into one week. As they were submitted in the same week as I was still checking my p45 was correct I was delayed in...

    Where to turn with Umbrella issues?

    Have tried but I need more variables and they have a fixed fee on their calculations.

    Where to turn with Umbrella issues?

    It's more complex as have started pushing money into a pension plan. The figures look roughly right but I think they are slightly out. I do not think the umbrella company understands the system they have implemented to create payslips. When you ask a question it's hard to get a decent answer...

    Where to turn with Umbrella issues?

    Hi all, I have been reading a lot of the posts on here about all the issues people are having with Umbrella companies. Apart from this forum where do people turn? I have a payslip that I want someone to check and not sure where to ask. Any advice? Also has anyone got experience of changing...

    Umbrellas which offer 'Salary-Sacrifice' pensions

    :happy Thanks! Ltd Co's and Umbrella's feel like minefields that you just have to be constantly on top of to not get blown up.
