Depending on your method of payment we require certain information as follows:

PAYE (Pay As You Earn)

Total Assist will become your employer and on receipt of your timesheets will ensure that your tax and national insurance contributions are processed and we will transfer your net funds to your personal bank account.  Documents required in order to process you as PAYE are:

  • Signed Contract for Services
  • P45/P46
  • Proof of Bank Details.

Umbrella Company

The Umbrella Company will become your employer and they will advise you of the options available in relation to claiming expenses.   Please ensure that your timesheet is sent to both Total Assist and the Umbrella Company.  The Umbrella Company will provide us with an invoice to transfer gross funds.  You will need to register with your chosen Umbrella Company before we can process your timesheets.  Please advise us of your chosen Umbrella Company by e-mailing payroll@totalassist.co.uk and our Payroll Team will make contact to obtain the relevant paperwork.

Limited Company

If you have chosen to operate your own Limited Company where you are the Director, along with your timesheet you will need to provide us with a Limited Company invoice and Total Assist will transfer funds to your Limited Company Bank Account.  Documents required in order to process you through your Limited Company are:

  • Signed Contract for Services
  • Certificate of Incorporation
  • VAT Certificate (if applicable)
  • Official Proof of Bank Details for your Limited Company
