We liaise with your agency and provide them with all the necessary documentation required.

What do you need to do?

Download and complete the simple application form and mail it to us, together with the proof of entitlement to work in the UK as outlined on the application form. We will be ready to invoice on your behalf immediately upon receipt.
We will send you a 'Welcome on Board' pack that will include your contract of employment which you will need to sign and return.
If you are contracting for the first time tell your recruitment agency that you are going to be working through a limited company. Provide us with the agency details and we will forward all necessary documentation on to them.
If you already work with an agency on their PAYE system then tell them you wish to offer your services though a limited company. We will liaise with them to ensure a smooth and efficient change in your status, and deal with any contractual changes.
Likewise, if you are unhappy with your current limited company provider and wish to switch to QIS, we will speak to the agency on your behalf to ensure a swift and smooth transition.
Then simply work as normal and send your timesheets to your agency — you or your agency will need to advise us of the details by telephone, fax or email to enable us to raise the appropriate invoice on your behalf.

How do you get paid?

On receipt of authorised timesheets or self-billing agency schedules, we will invoice your agency or end-client for the time you have worked.
On receipt of our invoice, the recruitment agency will make payment to us through the BACS system (the UK's electronic banking system).
We will then process your salary, deduct all necessary tax and national insurance, our fee (up to a maximum of £25.00 per week) and then transfer your money to your account.
You will have immediate access to your cleared funds.
On the day your payment is processed we will send you an SMS message advising you when the funds will be available to you.
A pay advice will be sent to you either by post or by email (whichever you prefer) for each salary payment.
