ePayMe are proud to be awarded a certificate by “Straight Talking” – All Umbrella Companies are Equal for being registered and approved as a “Straight Talking” Umbrella Company. “This is to certify that has been confirmed as a “Straight Talking” Umbrella Company. In order to become a member of All Umbrella Companies Are Equal, the aforementioned company has had their over-arching contract reviewed to ensure it sits in line with HMRC guidelines. The business also agrees to work to the Best Practice Charter and if any issues should arise, they agree to speak openly and honestly about their business practices in a public forum. “The legislation which surrounds both the recruitment and umbrella sectors is complicated and ever-changing and therefore specialist knowledge is required to guarantee compliance. However, after extensive talks with members it would seem that many have been presented with contracts that are purported to be over-arching when, in reality, they are far from that. This leaves the umbrella company, through no fault of their own, at risk of investigation and possible prosecution from HMRC. The complications arise as a result of the framework required for this type of business crossing boundaries between tax, employment and contract law. Without extensive knowledge on all legal and financial aspects, it becomes easy for companies to become confused.” Lisa Keeble, Founder Member of All Umbrella Companies Are Equal Members who carry the ‘Straight Talking’ logo are all working together towards unifying practices within the industry aiming to ultimately deliver uniformity and compliance across the whole sector. – taken from All Umbrella Companies are equal certificate.
