Overarching Contract
Overarching contracts are for professional contractors who seek a succession of jobs through an umbrella company such as Zeva. Your contract of employment is an overarching contract and enables contractors to establish a permanent workplace at their home. Establishing your home as a workplace provides two benefits to contractors. First they can claim an allowance against their home office and secondly they can claim for an allowance for business travel while working at a temporary location.
Overarching contracts have become popular amongst agencies and umbrella companies. HMRC monitor these closely to ensure that these contracts adhere to their guidelines.
