Committed to keeping you compliant

Protecting your business every step of the way

Dual worker approval

Compliant workforce solutions. Guaranteed.

When our workers sign up they must submit a series of documents to support their registration. Rest assured every worker you book with us has been approved by two independent Workchain departments.

100% compliance

Rigorous document checks

Worker Identification

Each of our workers must provide two forms of ID on sign up confirming their identity and their address.

Right to Work in the UK

As well as human checks, we automatically block workers from assignments if their right to work expires.

HMRC documentation

All workers are required to provide Proof of NI before being assigned to work.

Driving Licence

All drivers must provide copies of the front and back of their driving licence so we can check the facts.

Supporting Driving Documents

Our driver profiles also contain Driver CPC cards and expiry dates with evidence of any work-related qualifications..

Full DVLA Check

We carry out a full DVLA check on registration to ensure we know about any licence restrictions or endorsements.

Before the first shift

Background checks

A safer way to hire
All workers must provide a minimum of 2 years’ work history before they can be approved for flexible work.

We check the facts
As part of our rigorous approval procedure we contact two of the work referees provided by each worker. These work references must be provided to our satisfaction in order for us to approve a worker’s registration.

Once approved

Workers' rights compliance

Minimum wage

Our system controls the minimum pay rate that will be paid to each worker. This gives you 100% protection from human error & full compliance with NMW legislation.

Agency Worker Regulations (AWR)

Full automation of the 12-week qualifying clock guarantees our compliance with the equal pay provisions of AWR. Our system prevents us from assigning a worker to you after 12 weeks unless a compliant AWR solution is in place.

Auto-Enrolment Pensions

All of our employed workers are auto-enrolled into a workplace pension scheme. We meet all statutory employer pension contributions.

Holiday Entitlement

Each hour of work completed by an employed worker accrues holiday at the statutory minimum entitlement.

Out on the road

Driver compliance

Quarterly DVLA checks

DVLA Checks are carried out every 3 months. Every driver we supply to you will be DVLA compliant.

Driver CPC checks

Driver CPC DQC cards are checked when every driver registers with us. Our system automatically prevents drivers being sent out to work if their DQC expires.

Insurance criteria matching

If we provide additional insurance to you, our system will never allow a driver to be assigned to you who does not match our insurer’s criteria.

Protecting you financially

Payroll compliance
