PAYE or Brolly with 27% uplift - Advice sought

[LisaContractorUmbrella]

The agency are offering standard 20 + 8 bank holidays, obviously pro rata.

Yes I currently intend on only working one assignment, and I had spoken to NASA consulting, before I found this website and you Lisa. They were stating I could claim for subsistence (usual £5 per day) and mileage, even though I am only going to one place of work, like a regular employee via an agency, but I have read your comments on other threads and checked the IR website - and your comments Lisa align more closely with IR than NASA's

NASA also offered a statutory holiday pay, with a certain % deducted from your wages, and a rolled up one, whereby it's in the pay packet instead - which didn't really make sense nor did I push because I didn't have the time. I presume all this is standard and it's the customer service and delivery that you really pay for

Glad I've been of help

If you intend to work only on one assignment whilst in the employment of an umbrella company then your workplace will not meet HMRC's definition of a temporary workplace and you therefore won't be entitled to claim travel or subsistence costs. In your case I do think you would be financially better off working PAYE through the agency

Sincere thanks Lisa for your straightforward advice - much appreciated.

Also after digging, I 've realised I've only taken 20 days (2x10) off in two years and previous company paid me for the additional days worked...

Currently rolled up holiday pay is illegal, as is being paid in lieu (for the statutory 28 day minimum). I dont doubt both these happen of course.
