We integrate with your chosen recruitment agency to speed up onboarding. They will provide us with your contact details and the basic information about your assignment, and we will then guide you through set up on our contract management system.

Our contract management system allows you to provide all necessary payroll information, submit your timesheets and you will also be able to see a record of your assignments with us as well as payslips and all other HR documents.

If it is your first assignment with us, we may also need you to verify your right-to-work status using government-certified ID verification technology.

As your employer, we are legally required to confirm that you have the right to work in the UK and to ensure we are paying the right person, we need to verify you against an official document and check your address.

To make this simple, quick and easy, we have partnered with a government certified online ID verification platform.

Verification is quick and easy, taking just seconds to complete. You will be sent a link, download an app and then follow the simple onscreen instructions. Please make sure to have your passport and a recent proof of address to hand when completing the check.

Yes. All our educators are engaged on an overarching contract, meaning you are free to work at multiple sites, for multiple agencies and with only one employer (TempUmbrella).

We operate a per timesheet week margin charge depending on what level you have subscribed to. We are committed to offering educators a cost-effective payroll solution and continually monitor our fees to ensure we offer you the lowest possible price without compromising on service.

As well as the protections of continuing employment and all necessary insurances, all workers engaged on our umbrella model [may claim their eligible, approved expenses and also] have free access to our Employee Assistance Programme offering free 24/7 counselling and advice services for everything from nutrition, physical and mental health and wellbeing to offering help and guidance with stress and pressure in your home life whether that be relationships, bereavement or help with your financial concerns.

The best part about being a temp educator is that you can choose when and where you want to work, flexi, part-time or full-time, and when you want to take some time off. We pay all our educators an amount each week as holiday pay on top of the hourly rates (currently paid at 12.07%), meaning that for every hour you work, you receive an amount towards holiday pay on top

This is then paid live to you each time you are paid against a timesheet so that you have the freedom to pick and choose when and how to take your time off at a later date. Please note that holiday pay will be included in the total contract rate you agree with your agency.

The rate of pay agreed between you and your recruitment agency is the total contract rate, which will be inclusive of holiday pay. We are then required to administer deductions to this rate for Employers NI, Apprenticeship Levy, Employers Pension (where applicable) and our £10 umbrella margin per timesheet.

The remaining balance is your gross pay, and we will present this to you as separate amounts for hourly pay and for holiday pay.

We will then deduct the required statutory amounts for the employee's tax, employee's national insurance, employee's pension (where applicable), as well as any other amounts as advised by yourself or HMRC (e.g. student loan or attachment of earnings orders).

Yes. We offer an auto-enrolment pension scheme administered by Nest, and you will be automatically enrolled as soon as you are eligible.

Once enrolled, you will have the option to opt-out, but you are equally able to opt into the scheme sooner if you wish. Please get in touch with us directly for information on your options.

Please note that joining the pension will increase the employment costs deducted from the total contract rate. But we recognise you may want to plan for the future. It's your choice.

We operate a weekly payroll, paid to you on a Friday and based on timesheets, which have been approved by 5 pm on the previous Monday by the education client you are working for. Provided your timesheet is approved and you are fully registered, you will be paid on time every time. You will receive your payslip in advance of your pay on the Thursday morning

We will work with you to ensure you can still receive some pay. In most instances, we can offer same-day advances provided there is an authorised timesheet due for payment in a future pay run. Please get in touch with us to discuss this further.

We offer an IR35 compliant payroll solution. Provided any expense claims we receive have been approved by your agency or the education client you are working for and satisfy the eligibility requirements, these will be paid out to you in full.

We will be required to verify the eligibility of all expense claims received, and where they are not eligible for full reimbursement under HMRC rules, we will need to treat these as earnings for PAYE purposes.
