Parasol Umbrella seem to have disappeared today

I finally got my November timesheet paid today and correctly (subtracting the interim payment). They have promised to refund margin so we'll see if that happens but I'm just glad to have gotten what was sitting in their accounts for two weeks.
Hopefully everyone else will be sorted by the weekend, which will be good news to a lot of people caught up in this.Last edited by pacontracting; 3 February 2022, 07:03.Leave a comment:

"Parasol expects customer service to suffer for another two weeks" - looks like there is still 'some fixing' to do.Leave a comment:

We have seen quite a few agencies allow contractors to move, just be aware that this may cause a momentary issue with your tax as HMRC are likely to see dual employment, and until P45's get issued the tax may not be correct.Leave a comment:

Now I know that Parasol have set things up so that it requires an Agency to terminate the contract before you can leave but I suspect few agencies are going to object to that at the moment provided you are just happy to move to another on their PSL list.Leave a comment:

What a mess...
End of December I initiated a bank account switch, and as of Jan 15th, my old bank account is now closed. Luckily I don't have any outstanding payments from Parasol.
As soon as Parasol's systems were up & running again, I told them my new bank account details. Still pending.
No response to my e-mails to employment services.
Phone line hangs up on me.
The other two phone lines ("Best Advice" and "Agencies") disconnect before the first ring.
Impossible to het through to them...
I'd like to submit a timesheet for the week of Jan 10th. Question is: Should I?
I've contacted my recruitment agency, to see what they say.
Really outrageous. And it's got me worried... I'm sure I'm not the only one who has bills to pay!

Yep - paystream do salary sacrifice (hopefully to yours) and do seem to provide payslips and summaries that add up correctly (that's not always the case).Leave a comment:

Thought that would be the case - what agency and new umbrella are you with (happy to here via pm) as I suspect they are swallowing a lot of lost commission / rebate unless the new umbrella is paying similar?Leave a comment:

Yes, I have a few colleagues who are with Hayes / Parasol and they've been paid fully etc but they put their timesheets in weekly. Mine are monthly with a smaller outfit. Hopefully Parasol keeps the relationship with the larger agents, allowing us smaller fry to get paid and move on. Problem is, in an unregulated industry, it's out of the frying pan, into the fire.
