        ......and please make sure you include Umbrella Companies with a questionable approach to claiming expenses.

        Not quite in the same league, but I had a call from an Umbrella company yesterday with an expenses policy approved by an 'ex-HMRC employee' that was frankly outrageous. It did have the same ring to it as 'QC approved'.

        The 'ex-HMRC' employee must have been a janitor.

        Quick way of sanitising Umbrellas is to see if they're a member of All Umbrella Companies are Equal .

          Can someone knock up a standard template? Most end up in my spam folder, but I had another one via Contract Jobs this week, so a nice simple cut and paste job would be nice.
