Becoming a Brookson employee
Over 1.4 million in the UK currently work as contractors or freelancers, attracted by the flexibility and variety of the work, not to mention the financial rewards.
You probably have your own great reasons for choosing the contracting route, however chances are, spending hours managing your finances is not one of them. That is why becoming an employee of Brookson can really make your life easier.
At Brookson, we pride ourselves on looking after our employees and providing a fantastic range of benefits. It is a friendly, supportive ethos that has helped us grow into one of the largest private employers in the country.
How we can make your life easier
We take away the strain of being a contractor, leaving you to enjoy the benefits of being an employee, such as regular wages, no tax or IR35 worries, employment rights and a range of great employee discounts.
You will receive your salary in full as soon as your money is due, minus tax and National Insurance, which we will calculate and deduct for you. You can also view your invoices and expenses online via your employee portal, so you can check your financial position 24/7.
Our trained personnel are here to offer you friendly financial, tax planning and savings advice, and if your circumstances change, we can offer insightful guidance on alternative ways of working which better suit your lifestyle and bank balance. And that is not all. Our Employee Discount Scheme gives you big savings and cash back in shops like M&S, Sainsbury’s and Homebase, not to mention the range of specialist pensions and mortgage deals we offer as well.
