For any individuals considering actuarial contract work for the first time, we are happy to hold an open and frank discussion of the pros and cons of such work, including visiting them for face to face discussions.
For individuals already performing actuarial contract work, we suggest that you consider which of the following points your current agency offers you - we offer them all.
• Choose your required pay rate on a project-by-project basis.
• Free PI cover.
• Timing of payments guaranteed irrespective of when we receive payment from the client.
• Option to join bonus scheme (see below for more details).
• Choice of contracting on a PAYE or limited company basis.
• Full travel and accommodation support.
• For limited company contractors:
- Access to discounted accounting rates.
- Contract consistent with principles of IR35.
- Preparation of monthly invoice.
• Wherever possible, technical support both before and after starting your placement.
• Regular contact, periodic on-site visits and passing on of feedback gained from clients to ensure that any problems are quickly addressed.
• Provision of a wide variety of contract opportunities achieved through our excellent relationships with our extensive range of clients.
For those who join our bonus scheme (as most contractors choose to do), a number of significant benefits also accrue. First and foremost, an additional percentage of pay is earned while on placement . This will continue to be paid between placements thus providing a useful source of revenue when there would be none if contracting through other companies. There are many additional benefits of the bonus scheme: more details of the scheme may be requested from us here.
Our objective is to become the company of choice for many actuarial contractors. We have already seen firm evidence that this approach is working well and we would be happy to provide testimonials from those already working through APR on how we compare to our competitors.
For any experienced actuarial contractors who are considering contracting directly with the client to whom they will be providing services, we suggest you consider the specific service we offer in this situation that provides a number of advantages. Please contact us for full details.
We also offer a generous referral scheme. For any new contractors brought to our attention, we will pay a fee of £1000 should we place that contractor for three months or more. We just require the contact details of the new contractor and their permission for us to contact them. We have already paid out such rewards on a number of occasions.
