Umbrella payslip periods (end of FY)

[hobnob]

I've worked through a few umbrellas, and they seem to handle the payslip period differently. This has implications for the end of the financial year.

* DASA Umbrella said that the period matched the date on my timesheet, so the days that I worked in the week before Easter (week ending Fri 3rd April or Sun 5th April) would be period 52 for FY 2025/2026.

* Contractor Umbrella and NASA Umbrella said that the period matched the date I got paid (a week later), so if I get paid on Fri 10th April then that's period 1 for FY 2026/2027.

This seems like an odd quirk of the umbrella system. I.e. permanent employees wouldn't normally be paid in arrears, so the dates would match.

Just out of curiosity, how do other umbrellas handle this?

For Parasol, it is when you actually get paid

It should always be based on the day the money reaches your account but there are some things like this where the umbrella will insist on doing things incorrectly because that's how they've always done it and they wish to add to their own liability (note please don't ask me to explain that last part, but it's a stupid idea were an agency to go bankrupt)
