Hybrid – FAQ

Find answers to commonly asked questions about our Hybrid Payroll Scheme:

1. What is Hybrid Payroll?

A hybrid payroll model allows contractors to remain self employed while being paid via PAYE. It applies when the contractor works under supervision, direction, or control.

2. Who benefits from Hybrid Payroll?

Contractors subject to SDC who want to retain self employed legal status but require accurate PAYE tax processing and compliance.

3. Are expenses claimable in this model?

Yes! Eligible travel, subsistence, and PPE can be claimed. All submissions undergo audit to maintain compliance.

4. Will I lose my contractor status?

No. You remain self employed for employment law purposes while PAYE is used for income processing and statutory deductions.

5. Is it compliant with IR35?

Yes. By paying through PAYE, Hybrid Payroll removes IR35 risk and aligns with HMRC regulations on worker classification.

6. How is it different from Umbrella?

Unlike a typical umbrella company where you become their employee, Hybrid Payroll preserves your self employed classification while compliant PAYE is applied.

7. Do I get pension and NI contributions?

Yes! Though not as an umbrella employee. Employer NI and pension contributions are processed correctly through PAYE.

8. How do I submit work details?

You upload timesheets and expense details to our secure portal. We validate submissions and process payroll accordingly.
