    The Challenge Facing Umbrella Companies Today

    Let's be honest: the umbrella sector is under fire. Bad actors, opaque models, and aggressive tax schemes have eroded trust, and now, recruitment agencies and end clients are under pressure to vet their supply chain like never before.

    As a result:

    • Agencies are hesitant to onboard new umbrellas
    • End clients are demanding hard evidence of compliance
    • Umbrella companies are being asked to prove they're clean — not just say they are
    That's where SafeRec Certification comes in.

    What Is the SafeRec Certification?

    The SafeRec Certification is the UK's most robust, real-time compliance framework for umbrella companies.

    It goes far beyond traditional accreditations by auditing your payroll operations as they happen, verifying every payslip against HMRC records, and producing a transparent audit trail for all your agencies and workers.

    The SafeRec Certification is built on 5 industry-defining principles:
    • Real-Time Payslip AuditingEvery payslip is audited instantly upon generation.
    • At-Source Data VerificationAudits are performed directly via your payroll system, eliminating tampering.
    • Cross-Check Against HMRCEvery deduction is validated against live HMRC data.
    • Mandatory Legal ReviewsWTT Legal, a regulated law firm, audits your contracts and policies annually.
    • Full Supply Chain TransparencyReports are shared openly with clients and agencies, with no hidden details.

    This isn't self-certification. It's continuous, independent proof.
