How it works when you’re paid through an Umbrella Company Quick Links

How We Work with You and Your Agency Register

Contract

You register with our Employment Umbrella and become an employee of Danbro

Your Deductions

We deduct Employee’s National Insurance and Income Tax and pay them directly to HMRC, you’ll see these on your payslip (pg 1) in the ‘Deductions’ section

Take-Home Pay

We pay you your takehome pay. This is shown in the ‘Paid’ section (pg 1)

We’re sent the contract for your services for a specified number of hours at the rate you agreed with your agency or direct client

Company Deductions

We make the statutory deductions relating to your employment with us (Employer’s National Insurance and Apprenticeship Levy) and pay them directly to HMRC. We retain our margin and deduct any contributions you’re opted into. These are all broken down in the ‘Company Deductions’ section (pg 2)

Invoice

Each week or month (depending on your contract) we send an invoice to your agency or direct client for the work you’ve done

Payment

Your agency or direct client forwards the funds to us, you’ll see this on your reconciliation sheet (pg 2) as ‘Contracted Rate’

What happens when you get paid?

Every time we pay you, we send you a text message to let you know, and at the same time we put a payslip on your portal. It’s a 2 page document - page 2 is a reconciliation sheet and page 1 is your payslip.

It’s really important to understand what these pages tell you, so the following is designed to help explain how your pay is worked out.

We start on page 2 , your reconciliation sheet, as this shows the income we receive from your agency for the work you have done. There are separate breakdowns for company deductions and expenses.

What remains after these deductions is yours. Your gross pay is shown at the end of the Pay Summary section of your reconciliation sheet and this is carried over to page 1, your payslip, as illustrated in the sections below.

Understanding your Reconciliation Sheet

This shows the money paid to us by your agency

This is your total gross pay which you’ll see reflected at the top of pg 1 below. The rest of the page (pg 2) shows how we get from the contracted rate to YOUR gross pay

We deduct the Apprenticeship Levy & Employer’s NI at this stage. This is because it’s our responsibility as your employer to make these deductions

This section summarises what happens with the money sent by your agency

This section breaks down all the money sent by your agency. In this example there’s pay for a week

This section breaks down the deductions we make from the contracted rate. We retain our margin and make the deductions required by law. Holiday pay is paid back to you. We’ll email you information about the pension scheme once you start work
