Pay Between Assignments (Swedish Derogation)

Pay Between Assignments (Swedish Derogation)

This service is provided by Nasa Umbrella where required by your agency as they are unable to operate you under the MPP scheme.

PBA ensures that you receive at least equal treatment with regard to Day 1and some Week 13 entitlements with the exception of Basic Pay, as outlined below:

Day 1 entitlements

  • Access to client facilities (canteen, crèche, transport services etc)
  • Access to all internal job vacancies

Week 13 entitlements

  • Annual leave
  • Overtime
  • Bonus or commission
  • Vouchers/stamps


You agree a permanent employment contract which provides pay between assignments but you forego your right the equal pay under AWR.

How does it work?

The service will be much like that of the traditional umbrella system as it exists now for timesheets, expenses and payments.

The main changes will be as follows:

  • You agree a Permanent Contract of employment
  • This guarantees you:
    • at least 50% of your highest weeks' pay (in the previous 12 weeks) or NMW (whichever is the highest)
    • Paid for up to 4 weeks when between assignments

This PBA will be paid to you in advance with your salary each week/month and be clearly shown on your payslip - much like 'Rolled Up Holiday Pay' is at present.  Therefore you have the option to put this pay aside for when you may be between assignments.

Fees

Our fee remains at £9.99 per week before tax relief.
