How Does It Work?

Call us on 01707 669023  to sign up with Umbrella Company UK, or complete our online registration form. Once this is done we’ll get in touch to complete the sign up process which will only take a few minutes.

We will contact your agency to let them know you’ve signed up. Umbrella Company UK will enter into an agreement with your agency to be your umbrella payroll provider, and each party will sign a contract.

Once you’re officially signed up to Umbrella Company UK, you will receive a welcome email from your Account Manager. It will explain the next steps to onboard you to our service, ensure you are properly set up to get paid and clarify that you understand the payroll process.

When you working for your end-client, you will need to complete timesheets to reflect the hours you have worked. This may be done on a weekly or monthly basis, depending on your payment frequency.

Once you have filled out your timesheets, send them to your agency to get signed off with your client.

When your timesheets have been sent off, they’ll be forwarded back to you. These will need to be sent to Umbrella Company UK alongside clarification of your rate of pay.

When you have sent us your signed timesheets, we will invoice your recruitment agency for payment.

Your recruitment agency will arrange payment in-line with the terms and conditions stated in the assignment details. The agency will send funds – your wages for hours worked – directly to Umbrella Company UK for processing.

Umbrella Company UK will process the payment from your recruitment agency, making the relevant deductions according to HMRC legislation – including income tax, National Insurance and Apprenticeship Levy contributions. Contact us for more details on deductions.

Your net pay will be paid to your personal account by Umbrella Company UK after the funds are received from your agency and relevant deductions are made. Your payslip will also be available on our secure online portal.
