Who is it for?

Zeva Subcontractor is particularly suitable for:

• People who are self-employed and pass our self-employed
  and IR35 tests
• Independent businesses and business people
• Serial contractors who understand and are comfortable with being
   paid a contractor gross rate

How it works

Recommendation - You explain Zeva's role to them and hand over our introductory Zeva Subcontractor leaflet.

Registration and contracts - Zeva's registrations department calls the worker and after carrying out an employment status check, signs them up as a Zeva Subcontractor. A formal detailed contract for services is raised which can be accepted immediately electronically. You as the agency can monitor progress via our online administration system, Gateway.

Admin – All your agency needs to do is provide Zeva with the weekly hours and we will instantly calculate the agency cost. We raise you a single invoice there and then, with nothing else to pay, and nothing else to do.

Payment – We send the worker a confirmation text each Wednesday prior to them getting paid at their agreed rate on the Friday. A payment advice to confirm payment is available to view or download online.

Simple!

Agency Benefits

You'll be aware that agencies are not allowed to pay self-employed workers directly and so Zeva Subcontractor sits between you and the worker allowing them to get paid, and consolidating all worker payments into a single weekly invoice.

Sounds good, but what does it cost? Zeva has spent many years investing heavily in its infrastructure, optimising procedures and systems in order to minimise agency costs whilst maximising worker's pay.

Worker Benefits

Zeva Subcontractor provides all the financial advantages of being self-employed, such as a reduced NI contribution, and the ability to offset legitimate, allowable expenses against their tax liability on their Self Assessment tax return. They also have the added advantage of being able to work on assignments for companies who will not contract with them directly. Being paid gross, they deal with their own tax and National Insurance as normal when they do their books.
