PAYE: £12.71–£15.38 per hour, dependent on experience. Holiday pay will be provided in accordance with the agreed PAYE arrangement.
Umbrella: Approximately £17.50–£21.00 per hour assignment rate. This is the amount paid to the umbrella company and is not the worker’s gross or take-home pay. The umbrella company will deduct its employment costs and margin before calculating taxable gross pay.
