SafeRec – The only way to prove your umbrella company is paying you compliantly
While most umbrella companies in the UK process payroll ethically and compliantly, a few have made the headlines for the wrong reasons. Sadly, a few non-compliant umbrella companies have given the entire sector a tainted image because they have been incorrectly paying contractors and freelancers, sometimes secretly retaining more money by deducting hidden amounts straight from the workers’ pockets. With supply chain confidence lower than ever before, there is one way that contractors and freelancers can be certain they are being paid compliantly – by choosing a SafeRec Certified Umbrella Company.
