Edward Thomas is a proven compliant provider of outsourced payroll solutions for recruitment agencies, temporary contractors and end-user clients. Our processes and procedures are audited and approved by both Professional Passport and APSCo (The Association of Professional Staffing Companies) which combine to protect the interests of all those clients and contractors whom we represent.
These endorsements help distinguish compliant and ethical payroll providers from the myriad of rogue companies still prevalent in the industry. Our services shield the professional interests of both agency directors and contingent workers against the risk of either future liabilities or debt transfer. An additional layer of protection is provided by a comprehensive insurance policy (up to £5 million) which is included as part of our Professional Passport affiliation.
With the contractor supply chain subject to ever-increasing scrutiny and strengthened employment legislation, choosing a demonstrably compliant payroll provider has never been so important. Edward Thomas is committed to developing meaningful and long-standing relationships with all our clients and contractors through which we can thrive and maximise our commercial potential.
Edward Thomas is approved by the esteemed Professional Passport organisation which remains the most recognised compliance standard in the contractor payroll industry. Having the right to publish the Professional Passport stamp is only granted after a forensic audit of all aspects of the payroll process; this includes demonstrable and transparent ‘gross-to-net' pay calculations, proven HMRC submissions, evidence of correct holiday pay disbursements and all other relevant deductions, plus the distribution of compliant payslips complete with a full breakdown of all deductions.
A further advantage of our Professional Passport accreditation is that all entities who engage with Edward Thomas are protected by an insurance policy of up to £5million including contractors, agencies and hirers.
