    Inside IR35 Contract - Paying Employer's NI

    Bit late to this party but been off this site for a while..... Normally on the odd advert I've seen where there is a PAYE rate and a Umbrella/Ltd rate mentioned, the umbrella/ltd rate is higher as it includes an 'uplift' as my umbrella explained to me, which is to take into account the extra NI.

    Onsite, no contract and insurance

    The place I'm currently working at has left it to the last week to sort out my extension and seem to still be faffing and dragging their heels. I work though an umbrella company and I know in general its not a good idea to be back onsite with no contract (on the basis they don't sort it in...

    What age do you plan to semi-retire?

    I'm mid forties, mortgage paid off 4 years ago, no kids half decent savings as continued paying mortgage into savings even once we had paid it off. We have a BTL and other investments which we are adding money to. I've spoken on contracts with other contractors about how long they may carry on...

    Umbrella companies

    Lucy, I challenged them they said no as apparently they tried in the past to do their checks with the umbrella I use (your old one) and they said there was an issue with insurance or something like that and it was a definate no. I'm coming up against this more and more its frustrating.

    Umbrella companies

    The reason I ask is an agency has just told me I can be signed up to as many umbrella companies as I like no problem and being an agency I did not trust him so thought I would ask!

So for example I use one I am happy with but a job comes up with an agency that uses a PSL and I have to use another one for that job, can I stay with the one I like and then join a new one for that role then leave when I finish that job and...

    Lorien contract

    I applied for a role through Lorien I've got an interview on Thursday. I'm not sure exactly why but I've always thought Lorien are one of the not so good agencies as their rates always seemed to be low but given there are few jobs about I had no choice if I wanted this job to go through them...

    Direct contract through umbrella company

    This may be a question for Lucy but years ago I got a direct contract and the umbrella I used at the time had a contract that they used to get the contract set up with the company and so I could get paid, is this the case for all umbrella companies do they have a basic contract that can be used...

    Paystream umbrella weekly/monthly charges

    I've been having a look at other umbrella's and reading reviews it seems Paystream have got some good feedback and they do seem to be on a lot of PSL's. As normal its not easy to find out on umbrella's websites what their weekly and monthly charges are. Firstly why do umbrella's seem to want...

    Contractor umbrella Ltd experience?

    I signed up and was very happy then my Account manager left and every since the new one I've had a number of issues. I found out a short time after that they had changed and moved offices and staff this matches when I started having issues. There were a number of times I would go in to submit...

    Agency games increasing after covid?

    I can only imagine agencies will be fighting like rabid dogs for any leads and roles that come up as things improve. Roc Search no doubt will want 20 references prior to even just talking to you. I've had 2 emails over the last few weeks from agents with a job spec, the jobs sounded somewhat...

    Contractor Umbrella - Furlough

    It seems Paystream and Giant are now furloughing contractors working through them after obtaining more clarification from HMRC on what will be paid. I'm through Contractor umbrella who initially said back in March they could not furlough due to the apprenticehip levy and holiday pay and it would...
