The much anticipated Budget release today brings many topics to discuss however one that I am very pleased to see... Spotlighting tighter regulations for umbrella companies. There’s never been a better time to work with a recruitment agency that puts compliance and transparency first. The Labour government’s focus on “fair work” means increased scrutiny on companies that skirt around tax rules, but for those operating through a fully compliant PAYE model - like we do at OA Recruitment Solutions - the changes can bring peace of mind. Our PAYE model doesn’t just simplify tax, it prioritises straightforward, ethical pay. Temporary staff therefore get the reliability of full compliance and the flexibility of a well-managed payroll, without the headache of navigating loopholes or worrying about their pay. As regulations tighten, choosing a fully compliant, PAYE-based agency ensures your business is safe throughout the entire supply chain.
