I'm new here so apologies if this question has already been asked. Didn't find anything relevant when I was looking.
So I'm a day rate contractor but was on a company's payroll (and still am until end of this month). I've now been told to move to an umbrella (Giant). They offer 28 days of leave.
From my calculations, if I work more than (250 working days in the year - 28 days) 222 days then the umbrella will basically pocket my pay beyond those days. Hence I should work only up to 222 days a year.
Now I usually work for maybe 235 days a year. Basically losing out on 13 days of income. Company usually has a 2 week furlough around Christmas/New Year as well so could be losing a lot more in income.
Is there a way for me to ensure I get paid for all 235 days without Giant keeping the income from the extra days I work? I've heard that it's been done. Not sure how? Any advice welcome.
Are there other Umbrellas that allow you to do this?
