Association of Employment Management Companies – AEMC
Crystal Umbrella fighting for professional standards across the Umbrella Company industry.
Following hard on the heels of the MSC legislation and the imminent introduction of HM Revenue & Customs third party transfer of debt liability, a new trade body has been launched.
Crystal Umbrella's CEO Colin Howell, is a Director of The Association of Employment Management Companies, who were launched to provide a unified voice and a comprehensive set of standards for the umbrella industry.
Crystal Umbrella process all income received by its contractors via the HMRC compliant standard, which is pay as you earn (PAYE) so our compliancy is 100% guaranteed.
Benefits the AEMC will bring contractors and agencies:
- Easy source of identifying suitable providers using the employment model
- removal of risk to agencies of employment claims, since all workers are employed by the umbrellas
- removal of payroll, working time and holiday pay issues from agencies
- avoidance of any 3rd party tax debt transfer under the MSC legislation, since all members have been checked to ensure that they operate as employers paying only by way of HMRC approved employment income
- suitable for addition to any recruiter's PSL
- a clean solution for freelance workers that may otherwise be affected by the MSC legislation
The members of AEMC will play a vital role in providing flexible employment solutions to the industry and are a major contributor to the UK's competitiveness. The AEMC is determined to represent only those organisations that operate a legally compliant regime.
To ascertain a member's legal and compliance status all applications for membership to the AEMC will be required to undergo a three part test including:
- A Full legal Audit
- A Full compliance audit
- Financial certification by chartered / certified accountants
