UCATT in Umbrella Company tribunal victory | UCATT
In this case the tribunal decided all the deductions for employer costs were illegal - which means the employer has to pay them out of their margin fee (obviously impossible).
If this stands does this mean brolly users can all claim these back (which would obviously likely put all existing umbrellas out of business) ?
Does it mean that all the contracts will have to be changed and move to the "temp" model ?.
e.g. find a contract at "400/day" and go to the umbrella. They then of course say "sure, we'll employ you on that at 320/day" ? (This would get even worse press surely).
Or, is it just a bizarre judgement because of a very badly written contract.
There could be trouble ahead.
