Contractor: PEO
If you are looking for a straightforward, efficient, and easy-to-understand solution giving you the right level of support whilst maintaining your professional independence, then PEO is for you.
PEO
pay rate
Under PEO you are quoted your actual gross pay rate from the start, which never changes unless your pay rate changes. There are no deductions other than normal PAYE employee tax and employee’s national insurance. There is no invoice reconciliation required and payslips are therefore very easy to follow.
The pay rate that you are quoted is the pay rate that you are paid.

Umbrella
pay rate
For comparison, under umbrella employment, the agency provides a limited company pay rate which is the umbrella company’s income. From this, the umbrella company retains its margin, employer’s national insurance, apprenticeship levy, and employer pension contributions to reach your gross taxable pay rate. These deductions are usually broken down on an invoice reconciliation each time you are paid and fluctuate based on hours worked, meaning your rate can also fluctuate. Understanding this process can be bewildering. To address this, as of April 2020, the government’s Good Work Plan requires agencies to outline these deductions on an agency Key Information Document (KID). This ensures workers can understand the deductions that are made and their actual taxable gross pay rate.
Contracting under a PEO
Where the agency has a PEO service arrangement in place with Giant, we engage you either as an employee under a contract of employment or as a worker under a contract for service.
There is no fee to you under the PEO arrangement. You are solely engaged by Giant for the purposes of your assignment and will not be engaged through any other intermediary or third party and there is also no joint employment.
