QPS Group are one of the only umbrella companies to offer full salary contracts, giving contractors stronger financial security and peace of mind. Unlike the usual minimum wage plus commission model, your full pay is guaranteed - meaning maternity, paternity and sick pay are based on your real earnings, not minimum wage. This also boosts your chances with mortgages, loans and insurance policies that rely on proof of stable income. Alongside this, QPS provide full FCSA and SafeRec compliance, plus access to perks and rewards - making sure you’re protected, supported and set up for the future.
