What We Do
What Is UK PEO?
A professional employment organisation or PEO is an outsourcing business that acts as an Employer of Record. Firms like ours offer additional benefits and services that businesses of all sizes can utilise.
This means you can provide all of the benefits to employees that a regular international HR department does, but where the employers (e.g. Pendragon Global) are hired and directed by the client (e.g. you) but the workforce are officially employed by Pendragon PEO as the ’employer of record’.
This will support your business to upscale or downscale whilst retaining flexibility, competitiveness and compliance. While Pendragon take on all compliance responsibility, and associated risk.
Pendragon’s single employer PEO solution is a client focused service. Your business contracts with us to outsource the employment of your employees. From here, we handle ID & Right to Work checks, employment contracts, guarantee to ensure you never pay less than the national minimum wage, workplace pension auto enrolment, statutory deductions full HR, and Payroll management.
You may think this sounds similar to the umbrella model. We offer a complete and bespoke solution which means there are no fees to employees as our clients cover employment costs and our service fee. In return we’ll provide valuable expertise and dedicated support.
For SMEs we also offer additional services like consultancy, that are typically provided by specialist consultants. Offering a cost-effective, and compliant service.
This solution is not to be confused with an umbrella company, used by contractors and employment businesses.
Let Our People Employ Your People Outsourced PAYE Employment
- It’s simpler fairer and safer than alternative outsourced employment
- Single employment only (dual or co-employment is not recognised by UK employment law and therefore carries a VAT risk)
- Maintain flexibility without the inherent risks of Tax Avoidance
- Simple on-and off boarding
- Dedicated team for day to day contact
- No fees to workers or employees
- Greater transparency and enhanced trust
- Weekly, fortnightly or monthly payroll processing
- Hirers (end users) pay the costs of employment and our fees and you still make savings
Outsourcing Contingent Workers Or Employees To A Single Employer
PEO offers a significantly safer and more compliant alternative, particularly in light of recent concerns surrounding tax avoidance and non-compliance within other payment intermediary models. Whilst there is a cohort of legitimate and compliant operators, without the right understanding of due diligence and expertise, it is easy to fall foul of the many non-compliant operators.
PEO is a low risk alternative with the highest levels of compliance and no need to manage a PSL.
