Petition Change employee benefits/deductions calculation in relation to umbrella company

Change law/tax rules to ensure equal pay/benefits for agency workers using umbrella companies-paying workers less by avoiding Employers NI. ENI is deducted from workers’ wages.This petition seeks a law to prevent workers getting less take-home pay than directly employed people doing exact same job.

More details

There must be equal take-home pay for equal work for agency workers. Umbrella companies say that workers agree to work like this, but we know in the industry that this is not so and that workers are not given a choice and must go umbrella if they want to get employment. This is a widespread practice that is hurting the pockets of vulnerable workers.
