The supplied payee functionality was first developed for the United Kingdom. This feature has been enhanced for all countries.
As a Recruitment Agency you may need to source candidates from another recruitment agency (3rd tier agency) for the following reasons:
to fulfil a role where you do not have the available candidate(s);
where you do not wish to deal with the complex payroll legislation.
In these scenarios you will still have a relationship with the Client and will continue to invoice, however you will not be paying the candidate as the 3rd tier agency (Supplier / Umbrella Company) will pay the candidate. Against the job order, the pay rate will be the 3rd tier agency’s charge rate for supplying the candidate. Your Agency will not necessarily need to know what the 3rd tier agency is paying the supplied candidate. You may also wish to send a Proforma Remittance to the 3rd tier agency which details what the expected bill value will be before sending the actual remittance. This process can also be used to identify errors prior to the generation of the actual remittance.
In this release we have included the ability to create two types of 3rd tier agency records to support these requirements:
Supplier - where you are unable to source the required candidate(s) and as such the candidate(s) are soured from a 3rd party supplier.
Umbrella Company - where you use contractors to fulfil positions but do not wish to be responsible for the payees as if they were a direct employees and have full employment rights. However, in doing so, this could mean that the agency and payee are avoiding paying tax. To help all parties, the contractor would register with an umbrella organisation to have the appropriate country taxes managed on their behalf for a fee as if they were an employee. This way the agency does not have the responsibility of the collection of taxes, the payee has the correct tax deducted from their earnings as it is paid via the umbrella company and the tax office receives their required payments.
