What is the difference between PAYE and umbrella?

When you work PAYE for ID Medical, you are employed by ID Medical and we make payments directly to you after the deduction of the appropriate PAYE tax and National Insurance contributions - this is our recommended model if you work exclusively for us, as there are no delays to you and we have complete control of ensuring you are paid on time.

When you work through an umbrella company, you’re employed by your umbrella and work for ID Medical Group as a contractor.  We will pay the umbrella company for your shift and they will then claim any available tax relief and make a payment to you after the deduction of the appropriate PAYE tax and National Insurance contributions. This model is normally better if you are working for multiple agencies so you are paid under one tax code making your accounts easier to manage.
