An umbrella company allows contractors to have all the benefits of contracting without the concerns of IR35 and the hassle of running their own limited company.

You sign up as an employee/consultant of Dasa Consulting Ltd. We sign a contract with your agency (or end client) once you have agreed the terms of the contract. Your contract starts; you submit your expense claims online in the consultants area. We invoice the client, who then pays us. Once funds are received we deduct the appropriate amounts for tax, national insurance, holiday fund and the administrative fee, then we make payment directly to your bank account.

Dasa Consulting Ltd has a very generous dispensation scheme approved by the Inland Revenue. We always pay on time and there is no start up fee or minimum joining period. Our fees are low and there is no termination charge. We try to understand the concerns of the consultants and have a personal relationship with each consultant.

(a) Fees are charged only when we pay you
(b) We have two pay runs a week, if you miss a pay run on Tuesday you will then be paid on Friday

An approved dispensation scheme is an agreement between the Inland Revenue and an employer, allowing the employer to reimburse specific expenditure. The dispensation scheme will have approved rates of expenses that can be reimbursed.

No. You only pay an administrative fee each time we process your pay roll. There are no hidden charges.

Being an employee/consultant of Dasa Consulting Ltd, you will not fall under IR35 rules. We will deduct income tax and national insurance from your fees before you receive payment from us.

Registration is completed online. You will then be sent an email advising you of your username and password to enable you to complete your online expenses. Your account manager will contact you to help you enter your first expense report. You will need to provide your account manager with a contact name and number for your agency/client; they will contact them and arrange the necessary paperwork.

There is no set up charge. You will only be charged when your timesheets are processed and when you are paid.

Dasa Consulting Ltd will only charge you when we process your timesheet/expenses. At the end of your contact we will write you a termination letter. You can continue with us for free or if you want we will send you your P45.

Our phone lines are open between 9.00am to 5.00pm Monday to Friday. You can feel free to contact us with any questions you may have about our service. You can email your account manager at any time.

Our fees are fixed at 3% of the invoice amount, there are no 'hidden charges. Our fee is also capped at £25, so you can be sure you wont pay more than this per payroll

By joining Dasa Consulting Ltd you can reduce your tax and NI liabilities by claiming back Inland Revenue approved expenses.

Your signed (authorised) timesheet and expenses should be faxed to us on 0870 850 6107. The original copies should be sent to your agency.

Send in your timesheet immediately as we can then in turn invoice your agency before their deadline.

We run payroll twice a week, Tuesday and Friday. This allows us to pay you at least once a week. If you miss the Tuesdays pay run you will be paid on Friday.

We pay by BACS and CHAPS. When a payment is processed by BACS it takes 2-3 working days to clear. You can however request a CHAPS transfer for a reduced bank fee of £25.00. This will enable the funds to be credited into your account the same/next day.

The payslip will be emailed to you on the same day we process a payment. The payslip will show the net figure being transferred to your account as well as the deductions made for PAYE, national insurance, our fees and any other deductions made. The expenses processed will also be shown on the payslip.

When you are paid you will receive a payslip showing all the details of deductions and earnings. You can also call our accounts department to verify your pay if in doubt.

The holiday pay entitlement is calculated as 8% of your monthly pay. We retain this amount to create a fund, so that we can pay you holiday pay when you are on holiday or off sick. If you don't claim for holiday/sickness throughout your contract, at the end of your contract the money we hold back will be paid to you as a bonus.

If you are going on holiday, inform us by email and fax. Please give us one week notice.

Dasa Consulting Ltd will take care of all your VAT, PAYE and NI liabilities. VAT, PAYE and NI will be deducted and paid to the Inland Revenue by us.
