Umbrella companies must react or face closure!

Many umbrella companies were hoping that the proposed Supervision, Direction or Control (SDC) legislation would be deferred in the budget. However, in spite of immense pressure being applied from trade bodies concerned that the industry could be severely negatively impacted by knee jerk measures, unfortunately this was not the case. As a proactive umbrella company Crystal Umbrella have been working on our systems and processes since October and are confident that umbrella is still a viable option for flexible workers and others in the contracting sector. Our systems will be able to process workers both with and without expenses depending on their SDC status. We also have a fully independent SDC advice website at www.sdcadvice.com which provides workers with the opportunity to test their SDC status based on working practices. More than that, we are also offering help to any umbrella company that doesn’t have the time or resources to evolve to meet the challenges of the new situation – simply get in touch with us and we will be happy to help. For agencies, if your umbrella company has written to you “handing back” your workers, feel free to contact us as we are continuing to offer compliant and robust solutions for contractors both within and outside of SDC.
