What is Employment Cost and why am I paying it?

This is the amount of Employers costs, including National Insurance and levies, which Plus must pay based on your earnings. This is itemised on your payslip alongside the remaining margin retained by Plus.

Typically agencies increase the contract rate to Umbrella Contractors to cover this Cost.

Why am I paying fees for you to process my pay?

You are not paying Plus to pay your wages. We take a margin for employing you and supplying your services to your agency. Margin covers:

 

How do I find out how much holiday I’ve accrued?

You receive statutory holiday pay every week in respect of your entitlement to paid leave. This is shown as SHP on your payslip. SHP is currently 12.07% of your pay rate.

Why is my basic rate on the second half of the page so much lower than my contract rate?

Your contract rate is the rate you have agreed that the agency will pay for your services. Your pay rate is the contract rate less our margin, less Employment Costs and less SHP as is set out in both your contract and your assignment schedule.

I have been off sick for 3 days why I have not received payment?

As an employee you are entitled to statutory sick pay (SSP). SSP is paid when the employee is sick for 4 days in a row. You start receiving SSP from the fourth day (if you normally work that day) as the first three are so called ‘waiting days’ or ‘qualifying days’

I don’t want my holiday pay paid to me each time I receive wages. I want it to be paid once I’ve taken holiday, is this possible?

All Plus employees receive a payment of their holiday entitlement each time you are paid. This is consistent with all traditional Umbrella operations and there is no alternative method for the payment of SHP.
