Compliance
The boring part, done properly
None of this wins a job. All of it loses one if it is wrong, so here it is in full for the people whose job is to ask.
What we check before anybody travels
Right to work
Confirmed for every operative before they are put forward, and recorded. Share codes checked where they apply.
Cards and tickets
CSCS, CPCS, NPORS, CISRS and ECS cards verified against the issuing scheme rather than taken on trust from a photograph.
References
Taken on skilled trades, from sites rather than from mobile numbers handed to us by the operative.
Payroll we own
Operatives are paid by Tempeo Pay, our sister company under the same ownership, rather than a third party we cannot see inside. If a query comes back, it comes back to us.
What compliance teams ask us
How are your operatives paid?
The overwhelming majority are paid through CIS against their own UTR, or through their own limited company. PAYE is available where a client or an individual needs it.
Do you use third party umbrella companies?
Not third party ones. Payroll runs through Tempeo Pay, our own sister company under the same ownership, so we have full visibility of it rather than trusting an umbrella we cannot see inside. That matters because responsibility for PAYE on umbrella paid workers now sits with the agency, and we would rather that responsibility sat somewhere we can actually look.
Can we see your insurance certificates?
Yes. Ring or email and we will send current certificates straight to your compliance team rather than making you chase them through a portal.
How is your margin treated for compliance purposes?
The £25 is a flat daily fee per person and is shown separately from the operative's pay on every rate we quote. Nothing is bundled, so there is no part of the charge that needs explaining after the fact.
Need documents for a PSL application?
Tell us what your compliance team needs and we will send it across rather than making you chase it.
