Umbrella PAYE Onboarding Process

Thank you for registering with Orbital Umbrella Ltd. Just to confirm, we will be paying you under our Umbrella PAYE model with no expenses.

Umbrella employment deductions from your pay rate

The 'rolled up' contract rate you agree with your agency/client has to cover all employment costs besides your pay. This is before it becomes subject to your personal tax/NI deductions. These employment deductions are:

• Company margin
• Holiday Pay - Can be saved for holidays or paid out each week in your pay. The holiday year is 1st April-31st March.
• Employers NI - A cost that has to be covered by the employer.
• Employer Pension - If you choose to 'Opt. In' after 12 weeks deferment.
• App. Levy - Legal requirement because we as an employer, have a pay-bill of £3m.
  

You can clarify these deductions via HMRC on this link: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/working-through-an-umbrella-company

See our payslip example and 8-step guide for details (attached below)

Payments to your account

• The main payment day is Friday and although most payments will clear by Friday morning we cannot guarantee an exact time up to close of business.
• What time your payment clears could depend on when we have received instruction from your agency/client.

NOTE: If you receive an SMS text message with your pay amount, it means that your wage has been processed and is on its way to your account

Contractual terms

You are engaged on an over-arching contract of employment, we refer you to these terms (see attachments) as these will apply at all times on your Umbrella PAYE engagement. Being an employee gives you full statutory rights for things like holidays and SSP etc.

Key Information Document (KID)

Part of the Good Work Plan, a KID gives you a breakdown of your potential earnings and all relevant deductions. This should be provided by your agency/client engager upon each assignment. Ask us for more details: info@orbitalservices.co.uk
