UK Umbrella Reform – Are You Ready for April 2026?
Big changes are coming for businesses using temporary labour. From April 2026, the UK government will introduce Umbrella Company Reform, including Joint and Several Liability (JSL) legislation.
For construction and facilities management companies, this isn’t just another compliance update — it’s a potentially major tax risk, even if mistakes happen elsewhere in the labour supply chain.
At Marshall Recruitment, our goal is simple: we remove risk from your supply chain. And we’ve been busy making sure our clients are fully protected.
