With the new rules now live, this question matters more than ever:
Do you truly know your contractors are being paid correctly, or are you simply assuming they are?
Across the recruitment industry, we’ve seen agencies place increasing focus on accreditation when reviewing their Preferred Supplier Lists following recent legislative changes and increased scrutiny around umbrella company compliance.
While accreditation can absolutely play a useful role within a wider due diligence process, it’s important to understand that accreditation alone is not recognised by HMRC as proof of compliance and should never be relied upon as the sole basis for decision-making.
Under Joint and Several Liability, what matters is how payroll is actually being delivered day to day:
✅ Are deductions transparent?
✅ Are payslips clear and accurate?
✅ Is there genuine compliance oversight?
✅ Are contractors properly supported?
✅ Can processes be clearly demonstrated if challenged?
These are the questions agencies should now be asking.
That is why we developed the PSL Stress-Check ©, a practical tool designed to help agencies review their current umbrella arrangements, strengthen due diligence, and identify potential areas of risk within their supply chain.
At Accuratus Green Payroll, our focus has always been on delivering payroll properly, transparently, and responsibly.
That means:
✅ Clear, personalised pay illustrations
✅ Transparent payslips and deductions
✅ Ongoing support when you need it
✅ A fully compliant and reliable payroll experience
✅ Real people available to answer questions clearly and honestly
The industry is changing, and expectations around accountability have rightly increased.
