The current Chancellor of the Exchequer, Jeremy Hunt, recently presented his Autumn Statement in which the government’s five focus areas were outlined: reducing debt, cutting tax, backing British business; building domestic and sustainable energy; and delivering world-class education. Here we examine the Statement and look at how it affects contractors, recruiters and end-clients.
Three months ago we were delighted to welcome our new National Accounts Manager, Claire Martin, to the Payme team. Here we catch up with her as she settles into her new role and find out how she has found her first three months at Payme.
Q: How have you settled in, Claire, and what have you been doing?
A: Very well, thank you! I’ve really enjoyed my first three months with Payme. As I came from within the industry the move wasn’t a big shock but as I always like to develop myself I’ve taken the opportunity to learn more about certain aspects of what Payme offers its recruitment partners and contractors, such as our Construction Industry Scheme CIS, so that I can make our recruitment partners more aware of all the products we offer.
A recent survey by ContractorCalculator, the UK’s leading website for contractors and freelancers, has revealed shocking levels of non-compliance among some of the UK’s umbrella companies, as well as a system which is failing workers. Here we look at the results of it and the importance of compliance within the supply chain.
What does the survey say?
As well as some disturbing information about how some contractors are being treated (some find themselves being pushed into using an umbrella company against their will, some have had their choices of umbrella companies restricted, and some of them are unaware of their basic legal and employment rights), one of the main complaints was that umbrella companies are not regulated, and need to be so in order to protect people from unscrupulous and illegal behaviour.
