Limited or PAYE - that is the question?
All freelance workers should enter into a contract with Randstad Construction, Property
& Engineering prior to commencing work for us. We have two forms of contracts:
C – Contract For Services .pdf If you wish to read the contracts please click
on the appropriate one above. If for any reason you do not believe you have a contract
in place then either contact your consultant or the Payroll Team.
The terms are designed to reflect the nature of the relationship between the two
parties. For example a Limited company would be expected to hold insurance as a
separate legal entity so this is included in the Limited Company Contract.
Limited Companies
Many of our freelancers are paid via another limited company (either their own or
a payroll provider). Randstad Construction, Property & Engineering wish to ensure
all such companies are bona fide and as such there are criteria which must be met
to allow us to pay through a limited company.
If you wish to be paid via your own personal company please download our “Supplier Questionnaire” and
complete as best you can. If you have any queries we have a dedicated email address
subbies@randstadcpe.com
The questionnaire enables us to obtain all relevant information about your company
so we can comply with various statutory requirements.
For these workers who wish to use a payroll provider we have a similar process to
ensure compliance. However we have made this considerably more detailed to ensure
we have some understanding of the product offered.
As a result of the review we have a number of preferred suppliers which we believe
offer better value and service levels than other payroll providers you may come
across.
Payroll providing companies must normally have a CIS card. We are unable to pay
funds offshore for work done in the United Kingdom in any circumstances.
VAT
We recommend all Limited Companies to join our self – billing scheme which has been
approved by HMRC Click

If you join this scheme we will automatically raise a VAT invoice for you to match
each timesheet. If you do not join then we have to wait for you to send us a VAT
invoice which may delay payment.
