How do I get paid?
We are aligned to a number of recognised umbrella companies and whichever one you join, you will receive pay on-time, weekly and directly into your bank account.
We also have the option of being paid through PAYE. However, being paid through an Umbrella company is more flexible as PAYE is tied to one day a week for you to be paid so timesheets must be submitted on time every week.
To process a pay claim all you will need to do is download and print a copy of our timesheet, fill it in and have it signed by a manager or relevant person at the client who can approve/authorise timesheets.
Once you have finished filling in your timesheet simply send it to our Payroll Department on time at TimesheetsNorth@prosperogrp.com, TimesheetsSouth@prosperogrp.com, or TimesheetsCentral@prosperogrp.com and they will do the rest.
What is the difference between PAYE and an Umbrella Company?
We are aligned to a number of recognised umbrella companies and whichever one you join, you will receive pay on-time, weekly and directly into your bank account.
We also have the option of being paid through PAYE. However, being paid through an Umbrella company is more flexible as PAYE is tied to one day a week for you to be paid so timesheets must be submitted on time every week.
PAYE Gross rate appears as lower because an Umbrella company gross rate is inclusive of employers costs. One of the benefits of being paid through an Umbrella Company is if you work for multiple agencies they are able to organise the pay for you so you are not over taxed. Being paid on time through both an Umbrella company and PAYE is dependent on if your timesheets are submitted on time.
How much experience do I need in order to become a locum?
What is usual for a support worker salary?
Support worker salaries in the UK can vary depending on factors such as location, employer, level of experience, and the type of support work involved.
On average, support workers can expect to earn between £16,000 and £25,000 per year. However, this can vary quite widely. Those starting out or with limited experience are more likely to be at the lower end of the scale, while more experienced support workers, those in senior or supervisory roles, or those working in specialist areas may earn higher salaries.
