They will provide SSP that comes from the government. No government provided SSP means no sick pay at all.

After 4 months on bench & with tax to pay soon, no reserves. Wouldn't be able to survive on £95 a week. Rate is already £50pd lower than last outside rate as it is with more travel expenses.
So if 80% of contractors in an umbrella needed two weeks SSP, and umbrella can't claim it back as more than 250 employees, won't many go under? I've gone with one of the bigger ones recommended on agency list.

Originally posted by eek View PostYou are aware the umbrella company won't be able to deduct your travel expenses and you will need to pay them from your taxed income?
I'm fairly up to speed on the differences. I was always outside before, and left a role when they banned contractors so this is a new role and it is definitely an inside one as it's covering an existing role in the interim for an unknown length of time.
