Hello all,
I am new here and I tried to do a search on here but found nothing.
Basically when I got my first payslip from parasol group recently for 3 weeks freelance work I did I saw on the payslip they charged me a fee of £295.20 which they call "employment costs". I only thought they would charge me a small fee of £27.50 per week, which they did. No where on their website or in their material do they explain a "employment costs" fee would be charged nor it is mentioned in their take home pay calculator. I was never made aware of it when I signed up to them.
Does anyone know what this fee is??
I rang them to find out but felt they gave me the run around with no direct clear answer. When I asked them if this "employment cost" fee was a mandatory cost that all umbrella companies charge they said they "could not comment". Is that an obvious NO?
Once they took out the fees and employment costs I was then charged my income tax and national insurance which I was fully aware of. Just need to know where this "employment costs" fee came from?
I need help with to find out if I am getting ripped off? Why on their site do they hide this cost? Do other umbrella companies charge a fee for "employment costs"?
Any info to help me understand would be helpful!
