Protecting your business through Verification at source.
PAYEPASS unites advanced software with in-house regulated specialists to deliver precise, reliable verification.
PAYEPASS provides independent real time verification of payroll compliance. Our system is supported by in-house regulated professionals who apply the Financial Reporting Council International Standard on Auditing (UK) 500 to every payroll run. Each cycle is examined with full financial scrutiny to confirm that PAYE and NIC obligations are met in full.
To ensure accuracy, our payroll calculations and Verify service have been validated by independent chartered accountancy experts who specialise in payroll compliance. This combination of advanced technology and professional review ensures that verification is both precise and reliable.
Businesses that achieve the PAYEPASS Verify Award demonstrate that their payroll processes are free from avoidance schemes, holiday pay abuse, skimming or other irregularities. The award provides independent assurance that obligations are being met transparently and correctly.
Our vision is to establish PAYEPASS verification as the recognised standard in the temporary workforce sector. By setting a benchmark of independent validation at source, we provide a foundation of trust for umbrella companies, agencies, end clients and workers alike.
PAYEPASS provides the assurance that protects workers, businesses and supply chains.
Verified status with independent confirmation.
Umbrella companies that achieve a Verify Award or Fortify Accreditation are recognised as PAYEPASS Approved Providers. They may display the PAYEPASS Approved mark to confirm their verified status.
Each provider is given a unique identification number linked to the PAYEPASS database. This record confirms legitimacy and shows verification history, outcomes and renewal dates.
Agencies, end clients and stakeholders can subscribe for automatic updates. Notifications cover renewals, expiries and removals, so verification status is always current without repeated manual checks.
Founder and Director at PayePass
Fred is a solicitor who, after many years in private practice, has predominantly spent the last five years advising the many and varied clients he has amassed over the years that operate in the temporary workforce and recruitment sectors.
After the many years of acting for his clients, Fred says “I really do struggle to think of any legal, compliance or business critical function that I have not had to get immersed in to either resolve problems or to implement strategies to avoid them. Many of my clients have had the same issues and requirements common to all businesses regardless of sector and operating model, but those in the temporary workforce and recruitment sectors have many that are peculiar to them”.
Commenting on the PayePass Verify Award he says “Umbrella companies have come under greater pressure to demonstrate that they are not involved in tax avoidance and evasion schemes, withholding holiday pay, skimming that they are correctly paying their contractors. So, the Verify Module was conceived and developed, which I believe will revolutionise the payroll compliance standards for umbrellas as the PayePass Verify audit will quickly identify any miscalculating and wrongdoing.”
Then on the development of the new PayePass Fortify accreditation “Fortify will be a welcomed revolution in the temporary workforce section, for the entire supply chain. The last several years have seen other compliance standards come under criticism with significant failings identified. Our Fortify accreditation, available to all Services Providers in the sector, address all of the problems and will truly protect the entire supply chain”.
Fred’s strong belief is that “Every party in the supply chain must be treated fairly and legally and HMRC must be paid what it is due to it. A PayePass Verify award and Fortify accreditation will guarantee that”.
Throughout my 25 years of experience within finance and accounting I have been involved in most areas of financial management including acquisitions, disposals, audit (both internal and external), payroll compliance, system design and integration, cost control, financial and management accounting in numerous sectors ranging from practice, manufacturing, financial services to leisure and tourism.
My prior role as Group Financial Manager of the Malmaison hotel group exposed me to the complexities of the vast and complicated payroll structure of the group, so well equipping me for my PayePass role to assist in the development of its payroll software and analysis of the payroll functions of its clients that seek to achieve its Verify Award.
I bring a “can do “attitude to any project especially one that requires extreme financial detail. I have received more than few moans (I am being polite here!) over my eye for detail but, as an accountant, I actually take them as compliments.
When not number crunching I’ll be out walking the dog stopping off for a bite to eat and often a little more.
