Important details about Umbrella PAYE
You remain an independent contractor, but Fenero’s Umbrella Company acts as your employer for payroll and tax administration.
We invoice your agency or client on your behalf — no company setup or admin required.
All taxes are deducted and paid to Revenue before you receive your net salary.
Setup is instant, with no setup or closure fees, and you can leave at any time.
You’ll receive employee benefits including Class A PRSI, Illness Benefit and full insurance cover.
Take-home pay is lower than a PSC, as employer PRSI (11.25%) is deducted from your invoice.
