QPS Group is proud to announce that it has achieved SafeRec certification, reinforcing its commitment to compliance, transparency, and ethical payroll processing for recruitment agencies and contractors.
This accreditation places QPS at the forefront of the industry, ensuring real-time payroll auditing and full HMRC compliance. SafeRec certification is recognised as the highest standard in payroll auditing, providing independent verification that payments are processed correctly, taxes are paid in full, and supply chain risks are mitigated. This accreditation demonstrates QPS’s proactive approach to compliance at a time when the UK government is increasing scrutiny on the umbrella company market.
Leading the Way in Payroll Compliance
The UK government recently published its response to the consultation on “Tackling Non-Compliance in the Umbrella Company Market”, highlighting widespread risks such as tax avoidance, disguised remuneration schemes, and worker exploitation. As the government moves towards stricter regulation of the sector, SafeRec certification provides recruitment agencies and contractors with the assurance that QPS operates to the highest standards of transparency and compliance.
By becoming SafeRec certified, QPS guarantees:
- Real-time payroll audits – Independent verification of payments to ensure full compliance.
- Supply chain transparency – Protecting recruitment agencies under the Criminal Finances Act.
- Payslip verification for workers – Providing contractors with full visibility of their earnings and deductions.
More than just payroll – A partner for success
QPS is committed to finding innovative solutions that support the growth and compliance needs of recruitment agencies and the contingent workforce. This certification is part of a wider effort to not only meet legal requirements but to set a new standard in trusted, transparent payroll processing.
Robert Arnold, Managing Director at QPS Group, commented:
Achieving SafeRec certification is a significant milestone for QPS. We believe compliance should not just be a requirement—it should be a core value. By ensuring real-time payroll audits and full transparency, we are not only protecting agencies and contractors from risk but also reinforcing our role as a strategic partner for growth in the recruitment sector."
