PEO

An alternative to umbrella and limited company contractor engagement.

With the off-payroll reform having come into effect in April 2021, we understand that organisations may be concerned about the challenges the reforms pose to your business and the contractors you work with.

If you are looking to engage inside IR35 contractors via an umbrella company or through a PAYE model, we are here to offer an alternative option. Our PAYE-with-employment solution is straightforward, easy to understand, and will help you tackle the challenges that come with hiring a highly skilled contractor workforce.

What is PEO?

Similarly to an umbrella company, a PEO supplier provides a complete outsourced and fully compliant employment solution. It serves as the contractor’s employer and assumes all employer responsibilities. Under the PEO model, a contractor is quoted their actual gross salary, much like in a traditional PAYE employment model. It provides more clarity to the contractor regarding their take-home pay and the hirer does not have to worry about hiring, compliance, and everything else that comes with employing contractors.
