A hassle-free solution for contract work
An umbrella company employs contractors working short-term assignments. It gives you legal employee status and removing the complexity from contract work. It’s the simplest way of working for most contractors, because there are no unexpected tax bills and you’re still entitled to statutory benefits, including a state pension and maternity leave.
It’s a flexible solution too, allowing you to remain in continued employment in spite of the length or number of contracts you work on.
