Neither do the self-employed.

Yeah I had the same problem a little while ago and found out it was my umbrella company and that as my employer they should be paying me for the normal stuff like sick pay as well, which I didn't know.

Applying for financial products: who counts as my "employer"?

Sorry if this is a stupid question - I'm quite new to contracting! I'm working at a large pharma company via an agency and umbrella company. I'm trying to apply for a new online savings account and am being asked for my employer's details. Do I put down my agency or the company I'm working at? If they phone them up to ask about my salary I don't want them to deny that they employ me! I assume I can't call myself self-employed as I don't have a limited company.

Thanks!
