Paging Lucy to the thread.
If NLUK knows little/nothing about umbrellas, being from Yorkshire will force him to comment anyway.
I've used Paymatters in the past and ringing them was acceptable to explain what was what. They also advised that I'd be better off on a monthly cycle because their fees were less for one monthly pay run rather than weekly (it fitted with the household bills better too).The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment

Is that just to shut NorthernLad upOriginally posted by LondonManc View PostPaging Lucy to the thread.
With the actual point in question, firstly if you have a decent brolly they should be able to explain it with no issues (just saying)!
Secondly there could be many things that would have altered it, your tax code, your earnings to date, a P45 or starter checklist etc etc and the list goes on. If you cannot get a straight answer from your brolly then let me know and I can take a look and hint that you should find one who can

Remember also to get your tax code changed pronto (if 40% taxpayer band) otherwise nasty shock further down the lineOriginally posted by Darren_Test View Posti joined umbrella few weeks ago, on weekly invoicing. First couple of weeks pay was around 72% of total (days * daily rate). which was the % they mentioned when i signed contract. now its gone down to 52% total perr week. not sure whats going on?
is this average take home from umbrella (52%).
