    Should I continue on unpaid leave or end it?

    I am not sure about the fees. But, I have seen some money credited to my account few times after my contract ended. I guess this is part of my contract income held with them.

    How to go about choosing an umbrella company?

    How can we verify if it is really inside or outside? Can the recruiter or company really say it is outside if it is actually inside? Are they not worried about legal implications of this to them?
