NASA Group

The numbers seemed to match when I compared my payslip to online calculators (re employers NI etc). Helpful in allowing me to pay what I wanted into my SIPP. Friendly emails from accounts dept. Paid me promptly. Their fee was OK. (I was with them for 14 months in 2020 to 2021) No problems at all.

I’ve been with Nasa since March 2021. Paid regularly and on time. Responsive to questions and to queries about changing rates. All pretty fair and above board. Also dealt professionally with paying into my pension.

Seem OK so far, been paid on time each month and get texts when important messages such as contract to sign and payment being made (which is nice). Responsive to emails and on phone, got slight discount with agency which helped reduce weekly cost slightly. Was recommended by several contractor friends, would use again but hoping not to work on another inside IR35 contract in future!

They make a big deal of offering incentives for referrals, then offer a paltry financial incentive, then renege on their original offer. I challenged them on this and they eventually agreed to honour a small sum but the whole process was very unprofessional. Unfortunately you have to deal with accounts people who only offer stock responses and don't deviate from the pre-supplied flowchart/script. They're cheap, and for good reason. Avoid where possible.

Naturally there was some small delay in payments, but mostly down to hmrc being ambiguous with who could and could not claim payments in the first instance. Very happy i was able to get anything at all and appreciate nasa taking the time to handle this. comms were all very helpful .

Paid and communicated furlough payments.

Is it "employment discrimination" by the Umbrella company NOT to agree in Furloughing an Umbrella worker? Even if they meet all the criteria and are on the PAYE payroll for 2019/20. Is there a complaints process to HMRC for the refusal of Umbrella companies to Furlough employees and apply for the job retention scheme? Urgent action and help is needed here, as it is a complete disgrace. Please show all this evidence to HMRC and Martin Lewis.

I've been told I am not eligible for the scheme as a Limb worker, and with no active assignment on the 28th February. I have always used this Umbrella company because of IR35 legislation, but I am now not eligible for JRS or the self-employment income support scheme. HMRC appears not to recognise the self employment status of "Umbrella workers".
