Services
PAYE
Our PAYE solution provides contractors with the security of permanent employment benefits while eliminating administrative burdens for agencies. By acting as the employer of record, we handle tax deductions, national insurance contributions, and compliance with UK legislation. Contractors receive regular, guaranteed payments on time every time, with access to benefits like sick pay and holiday entitlement.
Umbrella
The Umbrella service enables contractors to maintain single employer status while working multiple assignments through different agencies. We manage tax compliance and insurance coverage, allowing contractors to maximise take-home pay through consolidated tax-free allowances. Contractors gain access to employee benefits without sacrificing the flexibility of contract work.
CIS
Our CIS solution caters to self-employed construction industry workers, ensuring compliance with HMRC regulations. We process tax deductions at source and provide documentation for year-end tax returns, enabling contractors to claim tax-deductible expenses. The service includes tax refund support and compliance with construction industry standards.
International Payroll
International Payroll solutions facilitate compliant cross-border employment through our network of 100+ in-country entities. We handle local registrations, tax compliance, and payroll processing for overseas assignments, eliminating the need for agencies to establish local legal entities. Contractors receive timely payments with full regulatory compliance in both home and host countries.
Connect
Connect is our proprietary management software designed for self-employed workforce expansion. It provides real-time payroll tracking, document management, and compliance monitoring. Agencies gain full control over payroll timelines and costs with transparent reporting features and direct integration with our global payroll infrastructure.
