Umbrella

WHY GRICKEY

We offer a simple, affordable umbrella payroll service that takes the hassle out of contracting.

What is an umbrella company?

An umbrella company is a payroll service that contractors and freelancers can join as an alternative to setting up and working through a limited company. The umbrella company will work as an intermediary between the contractor and the recruitment agency or end client to pay the contractor for their work.

In our initial call we will ask you which agency you are working with.

Yes, as is standard with umbrella setups, the weekly payroll processing fee and Employer PRSI are deducted from your gross pay. In return, you gain access to employee benefits, a streamlined payslip every time, and expert support behind the scenes, allowing you to focus on what you do best.

As an employee of the umbrella company, you’re entitled to paid annual leave under Irish employment law. Your holiday pay accrues as you work and must be taken as paid time off. When you take leave, we’ll process your holiday pay in line with your accrued entitlement. If your contract ends before you take your leave, any outstanding holiday pay will be paid to you in your final payslip.
