Do You Support Umbrella Companies or Recruitment Firms?
Yes, for PAYE-based arrangements — but we do not operate as an umbrella employer
Yes — we support recruitment firms and PAYE umbrella-style models where the employment relationship remains with the client or umbrella company. However, we do not operate as an umbrella employer ourselves.
✅ What We Support
We provide full payroll services for:
-
Recruitment agencies with in-house PAYE employees
-
Umbrella companies that employ workers directly under a registered PAYE scheme
-
Contract staff employed and paid via your own entity
In these cases, we support:
-
Multiple weekly/monthly pay runs
-
Statutory deductions (PAYE, NI, pensions)
-
Reporting for agency clients or end hirers
-
Bulk onboarding and leaver management
❌ What We Don’t Do
We do not act as a traditional umbrella company.
This means:
-
We do not employ the worker ourselves
-
We do not take over contractual responsibility for the contractor
-
We do not pay workers through Intelligent Payroll’s own PAYE scheme
If your model requires that the payroll provider becomes the employer of record, we would not be the right fit.
