Company Profile
Umbrella Companies
An umbrella company should provide employment to a freelance contractor in much the same way as any other business that employs staff. You should be provided with a Contract of Employment under the Employment Rights Act 1996 which grants you with full employment rights and statutory protection. Your umbrella company should contract with your agency/client and should take care of all administration for you.
Your contract of employment should be drawn up on the basis that you are a permanent employee and in the expectation that you will be working for your umbrella company for a number of assignments. Your permanent workplace will normally be your home which you will use as a base to:
complete your paperwork
travel to and from the various temporary workplaces that you need to attend to undertake your assignments,
search for new assignments
Low cost, award winning umbrella company service
As an employee you should be covered by the umbrella company's insurance cover (employer's liability, public liability and professional liability). Indeed the real advantage of an umbrella company is that it provides a safe, simple and compliant method of employment for those freelance contractors who don’t want the considerable responsibilities, administration and hassle of running their own company.
