Parasol's umbrella (UK) service will make your life easier. When you join Parasol, it works like this...

You become our employee, which means you’re employed by us on a proper contract of employment. This arrangement gives you all the benefits of contracting, with the added reassurance that your administration, employment rights and accounts are being taken care of in a fast, efficient and fully compliant way. You may have been asked by potential clients if you are an 'umbrella contractor' – this is exactly what they mean by it.

Our unique umbrella (UK) service takes away the time-consuming side of being a contractor, and ensures your payments are fully inline with HMRC regulations and ever-changing legislations, across all kinds of businesses. Umbrella IT services are perhaps best known, but we work with contractors from all walks of life.

We take care of all your billing to agencies or direct to client and sort out PAYE, TAX and VAT payments. Giving you more time to do other things - whether that's earning more money, or taking more time to enjoy it.

It’s really simple

  • You become a Parasol Employee by registering your personal details on our secure website with the added assurance of no tie-ins or joining fee.
  • Provide us your Agency or end-client contract details and we take care of the management of this.
  • Enter your timesheets and business expenses on the secure Parasol Portal – we only deduct a fee when you enter a timesheet and have been paid.
  • Parasol liaises with your agency or end client and ensures invoicing and timesheets correspond. 
  • You receive your weekly or monthly payroll in your bank account safe in the knowledge your payment is fully inline with HMRC regulations and you are receiving your best possible net pay through legitimate expenses.
  • You receive a personal email containing your payslip and a text message to notify you of payment in your account.
  • You can track your transactions, career and much more on our secure portal.

While you enjoy your free time, our umbrella (UK) team take care of ALL your time consuming admin and tax calculations and ensure the necessary deductions are made on your behalf (Tax, National Insurance, Pensions, Expenses, and Student Loans. etc).

*the net figure is variable due to the nature of your employment with Parasol
