Make Umbrella pay schemes illegal - They shortchange those working for agencies.

Petition Details

I hope to help not just myself but, other's in a similar situation. I have been contracting via agencies for sometime, and each week I am paid by an "Umbrella Pay Scheme" (Recruitment Agencies middleman). This scheme deducts their "margin" of £30.00 weekly from my pay along with *other deductions.

Additional Information

The con-trick has been engineered by Recruitment Agencies, whereby the pay-rate they initially promised to their temp/contract worker is greatly reduced due to them using "Umbrella Pay Schemes" to pay their employees.

Unfair pay Con
Payslips are often confusing and the cost of employers’ national insurance and processing pay is then passed onto the temp/contractor by the "Umbrella Payment Scheme;" all because the R/A's don't want to shoulder the burden of being the actual *'employer.'
