End the employment agency/umbrella company rip off
Close down or at least revise and regulate umbrella companies that take millions of pounds a year of workers pay. It is a scam that has been ripping off the hard working person of Britain since 2014. Although legal, it is morally wrong and also costs the government millions in lost tax revenue.
Why is this important?
Millions of workers across the UK, from construction workers to IT professionals, are being hit hard in their pay packets. The Umbrella companies make the workers pay their NI contributions (employers NI) as well their own (employees NI). On top of this double NI deduction the company also charges the worker for the 'privilege' of receiving their own money. They call this their 'margin' and can cost as much as £30 a week to the employee.
