Umbrella Companies

What is a Umbrella Company?

As an agency healthcare staff, you may have heard of umbrella companies but may not be entirely sure what they are or how they work. At Day Webster Group, we are committed to ensuring that our candidates have access to all the information they need to make informed decisions. So, what are umbrella companies?

An umbrella company is a separate legal entity that acts as an employer for contractors or agency staff who are not directly employed by the company they work for. When you work through an umbrella company, you become an employee of the umbrella company, and they take care of your payroll and administrative tasks.

Here's how it works: as an agency healthcare staff, you work for a nursing agency like Day Webster Group, who sends you out on shifts to various healthcare settings. When you work through an umbrella company, you submit your timesheets to them instead of the nursing agency, and they process your payment, deducting tax and national insurance contributions before paying you.

At Day Webster Group, we understand that every candidate's needs are unique, and we offer the flexibility of choosing your preferred payment method. You can choose to be paid via PAYE, the standard method of payroll, or through an umbrella company, which offers a range of benefits and services to contractors.

If you are unsure which payment method is best for you, our payroll team is always on hand to provide guidance and support. We are committed to ensuring that our candidates have access to the information and resources they need to make informed decisions about their payroll options.

We are committed to ensuring that our candidates have access to the information and resources they need to make informed decisions about their payroll options.
