Recommendation 7

While compliant umbrella companies can have many benefits to workers, there have been longstanding concerns across governments that the lack of regulation in the umbrella company market can lead to exploitative working practices. The evidence is overwhelming of the need for the Government to properly regulate umbrella companies. The Committee therefore asks the Government, in response to this report, to set out how it plans to regulate the sector and tackle non-compliance in the umbrella market. (Recommendation, Paragraph 43)
