Hey guys need a low fee umbrella company for a contract role

bit new to umbrella companies but all seem to take lot off unless your earning more.

any ideas on low fee ones?

cheers

Do not use Parasol as they are thieves who stole £800 from me. Do not use JSA because they forget to pay you. Do not use Giant because god knows how they work, but they pay you with "bonuses" and offer investigation insurance, which sounds all to dodgy.

I haven't yet used Orange and Gold.

Used these guys twice with no problems. £9 a week.

Thread fails, I thought this was about a pharmaceutical company hiring mercenaries.

Crystal Umbrella are good

Ev0 · 14 Mar 2011 at 22:41

Used Parasol myself and had no problems with them, paid up on time and were really good for me.

bloodiedathame · 14 Mar 2011 at 22:48

I have used Parasol in the past, they were ok but their fees are extortionate and after hours and hours of looking over my records, I still don't understand how they have calculated my pay...

GeezerButler · 14 Mar 2011 at 23:12

I use Atlantic. Never had a problem and always paid on time.

Ronaldo · 14 Mar 2011 at 23:16

thanks for that. Deffo going to call carringtonumbrella.co.uk and see if there are any hidden fees but it seems nice and cheap.

can you claim using oyster receipts? like if i top up £24 a week instead of making travel card?

JimaaaH · 14 Mar 2011 at 23:29

I used MyPay - didn't have any problems at all.

Agreed - don't use Parasol.

I used nasa consulting for almost 2 years, they charge £10 a week which includes all fees and their phone support is fast and helpful.

I highly recommend them.

Same day payment as well.

You can claim 40p/mile for the first 10,000 miles if you drive to and from your place of work as well which worked out really good for me as I had quite a bit of extra cash each week

Cybermyk · 14 Mar 2011 at 23:41

I've used Parasol for about three and a half years in the recent past. Never any problems and often called me to explain if there was any benefit in changing anything. I got made permanent or I'd still be with them.

Currently using Parasol with no issues, website is also really well laid out making timesheets/expenses really quick and easy to submit.

Expected pics of milla jovovich.

Thread fails to deliver

I've used Pinnacle Prestige before. Though one of my colleagues recommended Parasol.

Just found out that i can only choose from a List......

so Orange and mykeys seem to be best but orange uses £9 for its lunch per day which works out to be the same as my keys....

Orange 16.80 fee!

sounds about right they they limit who you can go through. more and more companies are doing this tbh.
makes sense with the temps as rotation of the heads is quite a lot!

I have used Giant payroll for the past 4 years without much hassle and they are very good at calling you in case of any query. They work out my PAYE though so I am not on one of the more tax saving scheme's.

Straight forward and without the risk of any comeback from HRMC.
