Can't speak on behalf of Advance, so probably worth a call rather than asking on here but at CU, we can get people up and running over night so it should be simple enough.

Hi All
I'm just starting a new contract and have been looking for an Umbrella to help me out. I have been in touch with WiseMC which thanks to this forum ive found out is probably not such a wise move after all. I'm probably going to go back to the one I used about 2 years ago ( Advance) which seemed ok and I got my money through fine. I have not signed anything from them, just sent my I D papers. They have contacted the agency who placed me as I asked them to keep me up to date. Since then I've not heard anything and had no time sheet or other usual stuff sent which started to concern me hence my search this morning. My question is that if I was to go to Advance now and instruct them to handle my financial side would they be able to organise things so that the transfer to them is easy and relatively painless and most importantly, I get paid on time and legally? I start the role tomorrow.Tags: None
