As an umbrella company employee, you will receive a payslip each time you’re paid. This will detail the amount paid to you, as well as any deductions made from your gross pay. Depending on your umbrella company, you may receive a separate document detailing how your gross pay was calculated from the contract rate that was paid to your umbrella.
It’s important that you understand your pay documents so you can be confident that everything is correct. Even if your pay is the same every week or month, it makes sense to go through them at least once, to make sure you understand all the deductions and you’re happy it’s all in order.
If you have questions about your payslips, you should contact your umbrella company to discuss them.
Storing your payslips securely
There are a number of reasons why you might need your historical payslips, including mortgage applications and pension queries which could need to be resolved many years in the future. It often isn’t practical to keep paper copies of your payslips for that long, so a digital solution is the best way to go. Fortunately, most umbrella companies will send your payslip to you electronically and online storage is easy to arrange.
