What is an
Umbrella Company?
An umbrella company employs contractors who work on temporary assignments, usually through recruitment agencies or end clients.
When you join Sage Signal Bureau, you become our employee while continuing to carry out your assignments for your agency or client. We take care of your payroll, process PAYE tax and National Insurance deductions, and provide detailed payslips.
Why Choose
Umbrella Payroll?
Umbrella employment combines the flexibility of contracting with many of the rights and statutory benefits associated with traditional employment.
You can move between different assignments while remaining employed by the same umbrella company, providing record continuity. Your payroll is managed via PAYE, removing the administrative burden of operating a limited company.
