We’ve been operating Umbrella employment solutions for recruitment agencies and contractors for 30 years. In this time, we have seen and navigated all manner of changes in the flexible labour sector. At JSA, we value a partnership approach and we have long-standing relationships with many large recruiters who choose to work with us because of our commitment to compliance and great customer service.

If members of your contingent workforce plan to take on a mixture of ‘inside’ and ‘outside IR35’ assignments, we can help them toggle between PSC and Umbrella contracting. Our seamless service, insurable IR35 assessments, and ongoing reviews mean they can easily switch between PSC and Umbrella – it’s a great way to retain your contingent workforce by helping them to enjoy the best of both worlds.

For many agencies, managing a payroll is a huge distraction. Our Outsourced Employment service is designed to be a simple, straight-forward way to manage your contingent workforce if you don’t have the capability in-house. You can outsource your payroll safe in the knowledge that your employees are getting paid accurately and on time, and your compliance responsibilities are taken care of. We’ll also look after all administrative areas including employment rights, benefits, and tax deductions.

You’ll pay the employer overheads and outsource fee from the contract rate, and the contractor will simply receive a payslip with their gross pay – so you benefit from less risk, reduced costs, reduced admin, and complete peace of mind.

• Get Informed – Read our guides or contact us to learn about IR35; understand how you’ll be impacted and how you can mitigate risk.
• Conduct a sample assessment – Use our in-house assessment tool to audit a sample of your contractors, giving you clarity on where they currently stand to help decide your next steps.
• Assign a project lead – Appoint a project manager within your agency to spearhead IR35 preparations and ensure continuous momentum, clarity, and efficient communication.
• Collaborate & strategise – We’ll help you have informed conversations with your end hirers to decide how you can work together to develop an action plan that’s transparent, straight forward, and appropriate for your individual circumstances.

• Individual Assessments – Conduct individual assessments on every contractor and their existing assignments with our in-house assessment tool. We’ll help end hirers generate compliant Status Determination Statements, detailing the assessment outcome, and help your agency (and other parties in the supply chain) to pass on the results correctly.
• Communicate with contractors – For contractors with ‘inside’ determinations, we can help you to discuss changes in working practices and pay, and help you transition them to their new working option (such as JSA Umbrella). Any ‘outside’ results from our assessment tool are insurable to mitigate your financial risk in the event of HMRC challenge.

• Role Assessments – as new contracts develop, use our assessment tool to conduct role assessments to ensure you place a compliant contractor. You can emphasise when a role is ‘outside’ to ensure you’re recruiting the best talent.
• Regular Re-assessments – as contracts evolve, ‘outside’ contractors may find their assignment or working practices change, classifying them as ‘inside’ IR35. We’ll help you monitor contractors and conduct re-assessments for total compliance.
• Your payroll partner – as your long-term partner, we’ll assist you with all aspects of contractor accountancy including JSA Umbrella, PEO, and Limited Company accountancy. So, you can focus on your core activities.
