Deciding on a career change can be challenging and becoming a contractor even more so. Contracting can offer many benefits such as an increased earning potential, flexible working hours and job autonomy. Many people are put off by the idea of taking the first step to becoming their own boss because they feel that they don’t have enough knowledge about contracting or how it works in practice.<\/p>\n

We’ve created our Umbrella service to help you get started with contracting in the UK! Our knowledgeable staff will give you all the information you need to know about starting out as a contractor, from creating your timesheets through our online portal, understanding your salary sacrifice<\/a> options, through to getting paid!<\/p>\n

Most Umbrella workers find work through a recruitment agency though there are still some who have long-established relationships with end-clients and will arrange their own work directly. If you are just starting out, finding work through a recruitment agency is the common route to getting your contracting career underway.<\/p>\n

As a contractor you want to get the best rate possible for your work, but it can be hard to know what that is.<\/h2>\n

Once you have found your first assignment, we’re on had to help ensure you are set-up with us. We will confirm your agency details, ensure we have an agreement with your agency to have you work through us, and you will have your own online portal to create your first timesheet.<\/p>\n

Our online system is straightforward and most new Umbrella workers can find their way around it very quickly. To give you an idea of how No Worries Umbrella works, for a typical week you would;<\/p>\n

(1) Create your Timesheet using our online portal. We are notified automatically once your Timesheet is complete;<\/p>\n

(2) We then create an Invoice based on your contract rate and hours worked, and will send that across to your agency for payment. You will get an SMS from us each time we send your Timesheet across for invoicing.<\/p>\n

(3) Once payment has been received from your agency, we check it is correct, and then process your payroll (all in the same day). Once payroll is complete (it only takes a few minutes) we transfer your net pay from our business bank bank directly into your personal account. We will also email you a payslip summary AND send you an SMS message so you know once your payroll has been processed. That’s about it!<\/p>\n

Often though, the burning question for a lot of new contractors is “How much will I get paid?”. Luckily for you, our Take Home Pay Calculator can give you all the answers. See it in action below.<\/p>\n
