I know a lot of us on here hijack threads about umbrella's and tell you to go ltd. Sorry to do so again, but this is a perfect example of why brollies should be avoided.

you can still reclaim the expenses, you just need to fill in the relevant tax form at the end of the year (I forget which on it is off the top of my head but I'm sure somebody knows it)

Originally posted by flintylurcher View PostHi, I wonder if anyone can help. I have been told by my present umbrella company that if I give them their 28 days required notice they will not allow any on site expenses for the notice period. This is despite that fact that I will still be working on the same contract as for the previous 2 months, earning the same amount and paying out the same amounts for fuel, accommodation etc..
I want to change my umbrella company before starting my next contract as I am not happy with the present one, but it seems that they are making it almost impossible for me to do so. Seems almost like blackmail!
Has anyone else experienced this, and is there a solution to the problem?
My next contract starts immediately after this one finishes. Because the umbrella company technically employs me wherever I am contracting, or indeed even if I don't have a contract; then the 28 days notice period is going to coincide with weeks that I am working and running up expenses. I am inclined to just give them notice at the end of this contract, and use another company for the new contract, but don't know if there would be any comeback if I do this.
