Danbro Umbrella not only offers a payroll service for umbrella employees, but also provides the tools and benefits to support our contractors’ well-being. From rewards to additional services, our standard for umbrella employee benefits is above and beyond.
Prioritising work-life balance offers many benefits, such as increased productivity, better mental health, stronger relationships, and boosts in creativity and innovation. At Danbro, we strive to ensure our contractors thrive both professionally and personally.
Private Medical & Dental Care
Your health is important and as part of our proactive approach to supporting employee health, we offer private medical and dental care** as part of our Umbrella PLUS plan. This cash plan provides you with access to private medical, optical and dental care. Essentially, if you pay for medical or dental care, you can claim back what you paid (*up to a certain amount) using your Cash Plan. Please note that Terms and Conditions apply.
We want contractors, like ‘Danby’, to get more from their umbrella company. Danby can save money on things such as his eye tests. Without this option, Danby probably wouldn’t bother going for his eye test and wouldn’t have known that he needed glasses. No wonder he was ‘contracting’ so many headaches trying to read his payslips!
*Subject to Eligibility. Terms, Conditions & Exclusions Apply.
Insurance
Having the essential financial protection is crucial as an umbrella employee. That’s why with Danbro Umbrella, you are covered by three types of included insurance designed to suit your contracting needs. Included as standard within our margin are Public Liability Insurance, Professional Indemnity Insurance, and Employer’s Liability Insurance.
Public Liability Insurance protects you against any claims made by members of the public or clients while you’re at work. So, if you ever accidentally cause injury to someone or damage property whilst working, this insurance will help cover the cost and compensation needed.
Professional Indemnity Insurance (or PI insurance) protects professionals and businesses from financial losses and legal claims caused by mistakes, negligence, or breaches of duty. It covers legal costs and compensation, if a client were to claim for financial loss due to errors or poor advice.
Employer’s Liability Insurance protects businesses against claims made by employees who have been injured or become ill at work. The insurance covers any legal costs or compensation owed to an employee who has a work-related injury or illness. So, it’s essentially protection for both yourself and us.
If you’re looking for more protection, you can access discounted financial planning services to put the right cover in place for you, your future and your loved ones.
Danbro Group SIPP Pension Scheme
Saving for the future is crucial as a contractor. One of the advantages of being an umbrella company employee is that you’re automatically enrolled in a pension scheme*. This allows you to contribute towards a prosperous retirement while securing your family’s future.
At Danbro umbrella, we have our own pension scheme, the Danbro Group SIPP scheme. Read our dedicated blog on workplace pension schemes for umbrella company contractors below.
