My partner did some supply teaching and their standard process was to put the person on to Key Systems who are an umbrella. She got put on to them for a 1/2 day assignment she did. Apparently quite a few supply teachers are through this set up. Works in the long-run but does look a bit absurd if you look at each assignment individually.Last edited by northernladuk; 9 December 2015, 19:48.

They stated in the end that an "Umbrella Company" would contact me in reference to payment. I received a call from the Umbrella Company who took my details. The next day I received an email with a "Contract of Employment" attached for me to sign.
It took me an hour and half to read and I was confused at the end. I replied back via email to the Umbrella Company stating that I was not willing to sign anything that I do not understand?
I have heard nothing back since yesterday?
Are these "Contracts of Employment" the "norm" and I am just being anal?
I would be grateful of any replies!
If you have any queries, then PM me and I will see if I can help... I assume you have more than just a few days work, otherwise working through an umbrella for this payment is absurd! That said I would worry if the umbrella cannot explain things to you

Did you not at least sort out how you were going to be paid first ? I appreciate it was a bit of a rush.
Are you operating with a LTD? If so why can you not just invoice them ?
Other than that you will need an Umbrella. What is it about the contract you don't understand ? It should be a fairly normal contract of employment.
