I second this - I have used them for several years now and they are very
reliable. They do several different deals so make sure you are clear
whether you want to be an employee of theirs which means they do all your
tax etc, or an independent contractor. If you are an independent they pay
all your insurances, but do not control your tax.

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
