Questions we’re often asked
Some of the questions we get asked most. There are more on the FAQs page, or you can give us a call.
If I go umbrella, am I employed or self-employed?
When paid umbrella, you are employed by Rebus Consulting Services Ltd. All taxes are deducted through the PAYE scheme, and you will be paid at least the national minimum wage for every hour worked.
Do I get holiday pay?
As an employee of Rebus, you accrue holiday pay. This is retained in a pot and paid out to you when you are not working. The holiday pay accrual amount is included in the rate received by Rebus from your agency.
When will I receive payment for the work I do?
This depends on your arrangement with the agency. Generally, payments are processed on a Thursday evening to clear in your bank on Friday morning. However, payments can be made 7 days a week.
Why do I pay employer’s National Insurance?
You don’t. Employer’s National Insurance is an employer cost. The rate agreed between you and the agency includes an uplift to cover employer costs. It is shown on your payslip so you are aware of all deductions made to the income received by Rebus on your behalf.
Not sure which option is right for you?
Call or email us and we’ll go through your contract with you and tell you which arrangement fits.
