Parasol Employment Costs
Originally posted by The Spartan View PostSweet, me too
I like you fell for the old Parasol B/S and have been ripped off it seems... Having contacted them I was amazed to find out the full extent of their tactics. They refuse to provide original voice recordings of my original call describing the their breakdown. After raising a complaint and grievance, they then added a contract to my profile without knowledge or consent, saying I accepted it. However, I took a screen shoot of my profile with them, when it did not contain a contract. Can you tell me if you managed to recover the employment costs from them and did you have to take them to court in order for them to pay? did they refuse to pay your wages as a result of you requesting a refund?
Thank you for sharing your insight on this company
thanks

Also worth noting that if you are in rented or a b&b with access to cooking facilities the breakfast and dinner may not be allowable either!Comment

Update 5 years on
I left Parasol shortly after starting this thread back in 2012.
I decided to go the limited company route instead of going with another umbrella co. I've used InTouch since for my accounting and have had a good experience. I would recommend them if asked.Comment
