I'm with OrangeGenie - they need to be sent receipts for fuel and business expenses only.

Subistence receipts don't need to be sent in.

I get paid weekly, but I only send expenses in monthly, they don't have a problem with that.

Like it!
Less receipts to claim off - definitely an advantage - probably more paperwork for the claimable ones though

ContractorUmbrella don't generally require receipts - apart from fuel ones, to be sent to them. From personal experience efficient as well
Word of warning - if you send in your receipts to ANY COMPANY- do photocopy them first - so you have a copy in case it gets lost in the post.

Umbrellas!

Hi Folks

Can some people give me some pointers on good umbrella companies.

I just signed up with Orange Genie but contract not due to start for another few weeks but found some things I am not happy about like having to send receipts every week for expenses thats the hassle I want to avoid so need someone who has proper dispensations in place to mean I just have to keep hold of the receipts. Also someone that has a decent rep, is reliable and does not charge too much a week or monthly (don't mind really).

Orange Genie were going to 4 week payrol and charge equivalent of £15 a week.

Thanks folks in advance, its reet doing my head in.

Cheers

Damo
