At Parasol we know we wouldn’t be where we are today if it wasn’t for the great working relationships we’ve gone all out to develop with recruitment agencies, recruiters and, of course, our hard-working contractor employees. Our award winning service has been designed to not just give you all total support, but be as hassle-free as humanly possible. Here's some of the things that we think make us the UK's favourite PAYE umbrella company:

For recruitment agencies

For recruitment agencies
  • We offer a whacking £23m insurance package to mitigate the statutory and professional risks to you and your end-clients. 
  • We can provide support for RPO solutions to give you the edge when chasing new business, including guaranteed hours contracts and tailor-made account management.
  • We save you time and hassle through smart systems interfaces – master agreements, faster payments, contracts portal and a complete back office time and billing tool is available for white labelling by agencies.
  • We’ve a fully CIPD trained outreach HR team on hand to take responsibility for any employment issues such as breaches of contract.  Last year we processed 27,000 contracts, 408 of our employees had an early contract termination and only one ended up in tribunal - how impressive is that? 
  • Our ID verification process for all contractors is super stringent to minimise the risk of fraud.
  • We’ve always been thought leaders on employment solutions, not just giving tax benefits. No prizes for guessing who it was who successfully lobbied the Government against legislative changes in summer 2008 through SPA.
  • Our excellent customer service enhances your own brand reputation, allowing you to offer better candidate care.  And as we all know, happy contractors = loyal contractors.

For recruiters

For recruiters
  • We’ve a sales enquiry team on hand 24 hours a day, because we believe in putting in the hours, just like you. So, if that assignment is confirmed at 6.30pm, we’re ready and waiting to have the candidate registered and off the market the very same evening.
  • We’ve an industry leading online portal designed to reduce the number of phone calls you get from contractors hassling you about when they can expect to get paid!
  • We’ve a super-duper, extremely efficient online registration process that’s backed by expert consultants on the phone. Go on, challenge us to beat our record of 23 minutes from start to finish!
  • Our dedicated agency support team live, eat and breathe recruitment, and are available to answer your queries and help you manage your interims once they’re on assignment with your client.

For Contractors

For Contractors
  • We offer a comprehensive expense policy, including an HMRC approved dispensation, to allow contractor employees to take home more of their hard earned dosh, whilst keeping on the right side of the tax man.
  • We’ve a user-friendly online portal to allow them to quickly and easily enter timesheets, claim expenses and – the bit they love best - track their pay.
  • We text our contractor employees the minute we’ve paid them.
  • Our dedicated contractor support team is available to talk them through how to get the most out of a contracting career.
  • Our fees start from just £11.95* per week.
  • Plus we’ve masses of extra benefits, such as access to financial advice, free legal helpline and regular updates on changes to legislation. 

If you’d like more details and a quiet word about how Parasol could work with you to benefit both our businesses, then contact our support team now on 0844 815 9950 or ping us an email at agency@parasolgroup.co.uk.
