Agency Salary Costs
Agencies paying temporary workers PAYE have the following additional minimum costs:
  • Employer's National Insurance contributions
  • Statutory holiday pay *
One of the major benefits for recruitment agencies is that all your associated employment costs and risks are covered by the umbrella company. The cost of outsourcing these liabilities is usually born by the contractor as fees paid to the umbrella company.

Contractors can normally recover more than the umbrella fee by claiming legitimate contract expenses.
