GENDER PAY STATEMENT

Amaze Umbrella Limited is compliant umbrella company. As an employer to UK contractors, freelancers and agency workers Amaze must include all of our employees to support Gender Pay Reporting requirements. Contractors, freelancers and agency workers work through multiple assignments with recruitment agencies, and an umbrella company offers these workers a single employer than having multiple employers each year. The employment under an umbrella company sees the individual paid a salary based on the national living wage, holiday pay and the balance as commission. As a result, the figures we have provided above may not support the government’s aim with this legislation. ​It is also a worthy point to note that an umbrella company does not negotiate, nor is it otherwise involved in the determination of the worker’s rate of pay. All contractors, freelancers and agency workers have negotiated the rate of pay with a recruitment agency directly before sourcing employment with an umbrella. They are at liberty to decide whether or not to engage. As such pay rates vary widely by sector, skill set and experience.
