Hi Margaret,

I work in the recruitment industry and have dealt with a lot of =
management companies.  I would recommend Entity Solutions.  The company =
is national and as I'm not sure where you're based, I have ccd my =
(Melbourne) contact to this email as she will definitely be able to =
offer you some advice in the first instance.  The number to call is (03) =
9600 0333 - website address is www.entitysolutions.com.au=20

Another point of note though is to read your contract with the agency =
carefully as there will probably be a clause which prevents you =
contracting directly for your employer.  This will probably be both in =
your contract and the one the agency has with the company.  There will =
be ways around this but it would be best for your employer to look into =
it to prevent any litigation.

Hope this helps.

Regards
Anna=20

Does anyone know anything about contractor umbrella companies in =
Australia?

My employer has decided that she is sick of paying an agent and wants me =
to re-
organise how I do things, and using an "umbrella company" is the latest=20
suggestion, which I don't think I've heard of before.

Is this something like Freelance, or a different beast? I've looked at=20
Freelance before, so I know how that works.

Any gotchas or warnings that anyone can think of?

I guess the other option is to set up my own company, or take on a lot =
of extra=20
paperwork myself.

Any advice gratefully received.=20

Thanks

Margaret
