A bit about Umbrella Compliance
There are two main self-regulating professional bodies in the temporary worker industry. Both of these bodies were established and work to ensure that the temporary workers' supply chain is compliant with HMRC and operates ethically.
However it is important to note that these "Self-regulating" bodies are officially no more compliant than a self-regulating umbrella company indeed many started out this way. Umbrella companies who are members of these bodies are "paid up".
Freelancer & Contractor Services Association (FCSA)
The FCSA is perhaps the UK's most recognised Umbrella company professional body. They work closely with HMRC and stakeholders within the industry to resolve issues that arise and ensure temporary workers are protected. Their Codes of Compliance are published online for all to see, and every assessment undertaken on a payroll provider is available for HMRC to see - if they're interested. This makes the FCSA transparent. Every year, the FCSA will re-assess its members and run a series of assessments. It's fair to say that FCSA members cannot get complacent - or they run the risk of being stripped of their accreditation
Professional Passport
Professional Passport was founded in 2007 and is an independently owned professional body.
To earn Professional Passport membership, payroll providers (including contractor accountants and umbrella companies) must prove they adhere to the highest quality standards.
Professional Passport has its own strict codes of compliance, and they're continually being updated to ensure they're in line with the marketplace.
Verdict
At NEW BROLLY ON THE BLOCK, we appreciate that you might want to look towards "Self-Regulated" umbrella companies in the hope that by "paying" for an accreditation some how means you are more compliant?.... or does it?
You see many companies who are not on these lists simply prioritise there employees (your contractors) over paying big organisations a substantial fee for an audit and accreditation which makes them no more "compliant" than any other umbrella company.
Any legitimate umbrella company needs thousands of contractors (employees) in order to meet the professional body fees and still make a profit. Anyone charging £10-£30 per week for payroll services needs volume to grow and be successful.
We implore you to consider using a company like ours born from experience, passion and compassion for the people we work with, you and your contractors. Give us a try you wont be disappointed.
