When you are ready give us a call and we’ll talk you through how we work and the documents you need to send to us. We’ll email you a part completed application pack and all you need to do is complete the bank details, electronically sign and send it back to us. We can complete the set up within 2 hours and you’ll be all set up on our payroll system with a contract in place with the agency who has arranged your assignment.

Caught by IR35
How we help you to avoid IR35
When you join Clarion you are an employee. As such you are not offering your services via an intermediary company and therefore not caught in the complex world of whether or not a contract falls in or outside of IR35. You will enjoy peace of mind that all your paperwork and HMRC returns are being handled correctly providing you more time to enjoy what’s important to you. You’ll be supported by a dedicated account manager who will ensure that any questions or queries you raise are addressed and resolved quickly.
Umbrella Service

We work with recruitment agencies to ensure that the necessary contracts are in place to protect you so that your contracting is safe and rewarding. Together we will ensure that your billing and payments are handled professionally and you get paid on time and what you are expecting to get paid.
Agencies

Our team understands and is involved in every step of the contractor’s journey and as such can answer and resolve questions quickly. Clarion has invested in its systems and procedures to ensure that we’re compliant with the latest PAYE and employment legislation.
