We employ UK contractors on PAYE, pay them every week and handle every deduction with HMRC. Recruitment agencies get one compliant partner. Contractors get employment rights and perks that come with every payslip.
An umbrella company becomes the contractor's employer, so the agency and the end client do not have to. Here is what that means for each of you.
Join online in minutes. We check your ID and right to work, then send your employment contract and Key Information Document.
Complete your assignment and send your timesheet. Your agency approves it.
We bill the agency for your hours, so you never chase a payment yourself.
Tax, National Insurance and pension are taken through PAYE and you are paid by bank transfer, with a clear payslip.
Being employed through Prudent People comes with more than pay. Every contractor gets our perks from their first week.
Discounts on the weekly shop, fuel, eating out and the things you buy anyway.
Help when life gets heavy: health, money and family support for you and your household.
Rewards credit that grows with every week you work through us, to spend on treats, trips or bills.
Perks and rewards are set out in your Key Information Document and can change. They never come out of your pay.
Agencies share responsibility for the tax of the contractors they place, so who pays them matters. We keep it simple and fully on the books.
Every penny through PAYEIncome tax and National Insurance on all pay, reported to HMRC in real time. No loans, no offshore schemes, no "too good to be true" take-home.
Holiday pay, properlyHoliday pay is shown on every payslip and never hidden in an hourly rate.
Clear before you startEach contractor gets a Key Information Document, so the numbers are agreed in writing first.
Your data looked afterPersonal data handled under UK GDPR and kept only as long as the law requires.
