Umbrella payroll, explained

The questions we get asked most by contractors and agencies.

An umbrella company employs you for the length of your assignments, invoicing the agency or client on your behalf and handling PAYE tax, National Insurance and other statutory deductions — so you get the admin-free benefits of employment while working flexibly across contracts.

Once we receive cleared funds from your agency, payroll is processed the same day and paid by Faster Payments — typically within 24–48 hours of the agency releasing payment.

Yes. You're auto-enrolled into our workplace pension where eligible, but you're free to opt out or nominate your own scheme instead.

We ask for a minimum of one week so onboarding and payroll set-up are worthwhile, but you can leave at any time after that with no penalty.

Yes — Vaultex partners directly with agencies across healthcare, IT, construction and logistics, with fast worker onboarding and a single compliant supply chain for your temporary staff.
