A: We pay the same day we receive cleared funds from your agency, all monies due will be with you by the close of business that day.

A: Your pay statement/payslip contains two pages.  If you start on page two you will see the rate received from your agency.

Please also refer to the document “understanding your payslip” for more information.

Basic Pay is calculated at the rate of NMW to demonstrate that even after our management margin and company costs NMW is preserved, which is a legal requirement.

A: Employers NIC and Apprenticeship levy, are statutory costs set by HMRC and your agency/umbrella rate should have been calculated to take this amount into consideration.

The money received from your agency has been uplifted to ensure you are not paying company costs.

NB your agency should also be transparent with you regarding this and are required to explain this with their Key Information Document (KID).

A: Yes, as your employer we will automatically enroll you after 12 weeks from your first payment in accordance with the government’s pension auto-enrolment scheme.

You will receive an email from NumberMill along with your first payment providing you with the information should you wish to opt in before or during the 12-week postponement period.

After the 12-week postponement period you will receive a starter pack from the Pension provider which will give you further information about the pension plan.

If you wish to opt out of the pension scheme you may do so but this has to be after you’ve been enrolled, if you do so within the allotted 30 day period set by the Pension Provider you will receive a full refund of any pension contributions.

A: As an Umbrella employee of NumberMill, you have two options regarding holiday pay.

Accrued Holiday Pay – On a weekly basis NumberMill will account and retain a minimum of 12.07% from the funds received from your agency. The more you work the more the holiday pot increases.

When you take time off you need to inform us (via phone, email or a message on our online portal) to check how much holiday you have available and so that we can make a payment.

Please try to give at least 1 weeks notice and all holiday must be taken in the same financial year.

Advanced Holiday Pay – We are still legally required to account for holiday pay, but this would be paid out on a weekly basis.

This would be shown on page 1 of your payslip underneath NMW. This amount would be paid out in full on a weekly basis, meaning when you take additional time off there would be no additional payment.

A: Yes, if you are actively working with us at the end of the financial year, then a P60 will be issued shortly after the end of the financial year (April). If you leave us before the end of the Tax Year, we will issue you with a P45 which you will need to pass on to your new employer.
