Our system validates every cycle in real time, flags issues before they become risks, and produces independent reports tailored for regulators and clients.
State of the art independent compliance assurance, trusted across the supply chain.
PAYEPASS has pioneered live verification from day one. Every payroll run is independently confirmed to ensure PAYE and NIC obligations are met in full. It is a continuous, independent system that has already set the standard for compliance across the supply chain.
Our system validates every cycle in real time, flags issues before they become risks, and produces independent reports tailored for regulators and clients.
Every payroll cycle is checked and confirmed in real time using our state of the art verification system.
Any irregularity is detected and flagged instantly so it can be addressed before it becomes a liability.
Reports are structured for regulators, auditors, agencies and clients to demonstrate transparent compliance.
The PAYEPASS verification system was created before joint liability was announced. With the April 2026 changes approaching, its importance has become clear to the entire industry.
Umbrella companies, agencies and end clients will all be directly exposed if PAYE and NIC are unpaid.
From April 2026, HMRC can recover unpaid PAYE and NIC directly from agencies and end clients as well as umbrella companies. The only way to protect your business is through independent proof that obligations are being met.
PAYEPASS has provided live verification since day one. Every payroll run is confirmed independently, creating the evidence you will need under joint liability rules.
Independent Verification. Trusted from Day One.
PAYEPASS introduced live verification to the umbrella sector before anyone else. Our system combines automated analysis with professional accountancy review under regulated standards to provide objective confirmation of payroll compliance.
Umbrella companies adopt PAYEPASS to demonstrate reliability and reduce administrative burden. Agencies and end clients demand PAYEPASS verification to protect supply chains, safeguard workers and reduce exposure to penalties.
Show the standard your compliance is built on.
The Verify Award is a detailed payroll verification that applies PAYEPASS’ state of the art system to confirm PAYE and NIC obligations are being met.
Each award is supported by a structured report that agencies, auditors and clients can rely on with confidence.
Fortify Accreditation expands verification beyond payroll to include governance, transparency and ethical practice.
It incorporates PAYEPASS live verification as part of a wider assessment framework for umbrella companies.
PAYEPASS was created as a live verification platform from the outset. Now, with the April 2026 joint liability legislation approaching, it is the system that provides continuous evidence of compliance and protects every part of the supply chain.
Umbrella companies are under growing pressure from agencies, clients and regulators to demonstrate that PAYE and NIC are correctly managed.
PAYEPASS delivers independent real-time verification of every payroll run.
From April 2026, agencies and end clients will be jointly liable for unpaid PAYE and NIC if umbrella companies fail.
With PAYEPASS, liability can be managed with clear, continuous evidence of compliance.
The PAYEPASS Verified mark represents continuous, independent verification of PAYE and NIC compliance.
Umbrella companies that achieve it can prove their reliability instantly. Agencies and end clients that demand it can trust their supply chains with confidence.
