Umbrella Payroll Services
“Your only regret will be not making the switch sooner.”
Choosing BSS Group’s Umbrella Payroll Service brings stability, continuity, and peace of mind to contractors, agencies, and end clients alike— while simplifying your processes and saving you money.
What is an Umbrella Payroll Service?
In simple terms, an umbrella company employs contractors on a temporary, assignment-by-assignment basis. Often, individuals who secure roles through recruitment agencies become employees of the umbrella company, enabling them to work across multiple jobs while maintaining just one employer.
BSS Group can also contract directly with end clients or multiple recruitment agencies. We handle all invoicing for the work carried out by our employees, making administration seamless for everyone involved.
Each time payment is received, BSS Group retains an agreed margin and deducts necessary company costs (such as employer’s National Insurance and pension contributions). Employees are then paid after deductions for employee National Insurance and income tax.
