Umbrella paying into non-UK bank acccount, and a question about frequency of payments
In case it can be useful to people in the same situation ...
Had to choose an Umbrella company and wanted to be paid on my Italian account. Asked:
contractorumbrella:
would have liked to use them given the very useful advice I found from them on this forum and other sites, and the very quick and good response I got by mail (Jamie?), but my agency asked to use umbrellas in their PSL. As it's important for me to get this contract I did not go into confrontation on this, this time
Parasol:
flat no in real time chat. Based on the "tone" of the chat wonder wether it's really so or whether the person who answered didn't want to find out
Paystream:
yes, with a fee for each payment, to me the fee seems very high, definetely excessive if payments are weekly.
They told me that my agency pays weekly, so a question:
Is it possible for the Umbrella company to pay with a frequency different from that of the agency? In particular with a longer frequency (agency weekly, umbrella monthly)
Which agencies are on the PSL? Have you wondered how much kickback the agent is getting from those umbrellas? Why not pick an umbrella then tell the agent that is the one you are going to use?
