Originally posted by SimonMac View PostThe advertised rate has nothing to do with it, its all about the rate in the contract, which for the contractor is between them and the brolly, what the agent pays the brolly is of little or no relevance, taking brollys out of the equation we all know of examples of an agent saying "sorry the rate has come down £50 a day since interview"
People who can afford it will walk away. Most won't. The role will still be filled by someone who can't afford to walk.Blog? What blog...?Comment

I still don’t understand why contractor is liable for AL, they don’t turnover enough to qualify. The agency/umbrella on whose turnover the percentage is based should pay.Comment

Originally posted by Old Greg View PostThe mess comes about in part because the agency is advertising for a worker but intends to contract with the brolly company. The advert should say something like "£400 pd to be paid to supplying company" but it's cumbersome. Really, the agency should just put the worker on their books for PAYE as Hays would with a temp. Smaller agencies could buy in services from a brolly.Comment

How that commission is made up is usually as a result of getting the invoice value for the work and then deducting the costs that the Umbrella incurs employing that individual and their margin.
Those costs for the Umbrella will include Employer's NI, Apprentice Levy and any Employer Pension contributions. Because the Umbrella company invoices for the work it's the Umbrella company's money so they can divvy that up pretty much however they want to arrive at the figure that is Gross Pay. Gross pay is the NMW they have to pay and then whatever is left from the invoice after deducting all those Umbrella costs is the commission.
i.e If the government brought in a new payroll tax of 10% per run for companies with £5m+ turnover for Coronavirus - that would get passed on to the umbrella contractors because that then becomes a cost of employing them. The individual contractor wouldn't be anywhere near those limits but as an employee of the umbrella company they are generating those costs that will have to be covered somewhere.Comment

But it doesn't detail any of the facts of the case. It would be nice to know the exact circumstances.
Under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013 (SI 2013/1237), if no response has been presented to the employment tribunal within the relevant time limit, an employment judge may issue a judgement on the information available, or may decide to hold a hearing.Last edited by eatenrifles; 29 May 2020, 11:22.Comment
