The Recruitment and Employment Confederation is urging contractors who are owed money from umbrella companies that have gone into administration to contact the administrator in order to obtain settlement for outstanding invoices.
In the case of contractors who had a working arrangement with Albany, the administrator is Carter Backer Winter who will be writing to each worker directly regarding the current situation.
Fiona Coombe, director of professional services at the REC, said: “Ultimately in the case of umbrella arrangements it is the choice of the worker as to who employs them.”
She also advises recruiters to conduct further due diligence on umbrella companies in light of the recent collapse of Albany.
