About Umbrella Care Service

We are a company that acts as an intermediary between the contractor and their clients. The chief purpose of an umbrella company is therefore to handle all of the administration associated with contracting (particularly payroll, taxation and invoice administration) so that the contractor is free to concentrate on the contracting itself.

The client will pay the umbrella company who will take care of the contractor’s PAYE and NIC’s before passing the remainder onto the contractor.More information about the main areas of the Umbrella Company structure.

How Do Umbrella Companies Work?

Perhaps the best way of explaining how they work is to show what happens from a contractor’s perspective:

Firstly, the contractor would join an umbrella company (preferably Umbrella Care Service ☺) by signing on at their website or talking to them (us) on the phone. You would then sign on with the umbrella company via an employment contract between them/us (as employers) and you, the contractor (as employee). You would then work your contracts as normal and at the end of the week you would submit both your expenses and your hours worked to the umbrella company via an online portal. Then behind the scenes while you work (or relax) your umbrella company would take care of invoicing the client and collecting the payment (and chasing the payment if it is late). Finally, they would then pay you via PAYE and take care of your National Insurance contributions, after first deducting expenses.
