FAQ
Contractor FAQs (PSC Professionals)
Am I employed by RP Resource or the client?
No. You operate through your own limited company (PSC). This is a business-to-business engagement.
Do I need to worry about IR35?
Yes. RP Resource provides tools to help classify your role, but responsibility for your PSC’s compliance remains with you. Always seek independent advice if unsure.
Do you offer payroll or umbrella services?
No. We do not operate as a payroll provider or umbrella company. We only support PSC-based, outcome-focused engagements.
What documents do I need to onboard?
We’ll ask for company details, proof of ID, insurance, and bank details. Everything is stored securely.
When do I get paid?
We’ll ask for company details, proof of ID, insurance, and bank details. Everything is stored securely.
What happens if my engagement ends early?
You’ll be offboarded with final deliverables and approvals documented. Final invoicing follows the terms of your contract.
Client FAQs
Are we hiring these contractors directly?
No. You’re engaging their limited companies under a structured agreement — business-to-business.
Who determines IR35 status?
You do — as the end client. RP Resource supports the process but cannot make legal status determinations on your behalf.
Can you help us build a compliant contractor pool?
Yes. We can onboard, verify, document, and track every contractor with audit-ready structure.
Do we have to use your contracts?
Yes — our SOWs and agreements are built for IR35, MSC, and commercial clarity. Customisation is possible but within legal guardrails.
How is this different from using a recruiter?
RP Resource is not a recruiter or agency. We handle structure and compliance — not sourcing or candidate matching.
Do you handle payments to contractors?
No. We help generate and track invoices, but payments are made directly between you and the contractor.
Is this platform suitable for public sector or framework work?
Yes — we’re aligned with NHS, G-Cloud, and other framework documentation and governance expectations.
