any umbrella's operate a cycle to work scheme ?

And something that isn’t going to cost the umbrella an arm and a leg to provide. Cycle to work stuff and perkbox probably falls under that category.

The umbrella has to fork out for the cost of the bike first before retrieving funds from salary sacrifice from the contractor, unless I am missing something. Although I did notice that the umbrella can opt for finance which I am guessing would be passed to the contractor.

I guess if we're all going to be umbrella employees then we ought to have access to everything any other employee can get.

Only what other people at the same umbrella get?

What you really want is the agency rules where you have the same rights as permanent staff after 12 weeks. It's why a lot of firms will be requesting umbrella companies rather than agency payroll.

That and perkbox or equivalent (former IPSE members will like that)

Oh yes.

[eek]

Other Umbrellas should take note, it could be this kind of thing that differentiates them from their competitors in a legit way.

Giantgroup do. I have used it. Very flexible. Local cycle shop took the voucher so you dont have to use Halfords or other big shops.

Not so crazy after all then!!!

Are you crazy ?

Umbrella is not your real world employer, and don’t know if you are getting renewed the next week or not

I am interested in is the "cycle to work" scheme and likely to get brolly'd soon so any umbrella's operate these ?

Cycle to work scheme implementation guidance for employers - GOV.UK


most companies now run some form of salary sacrifice for the cycle to work so was hoping the Umbrella's would be up to speed with this.
