Octopaye

"Octopaye is specifically designed to run payroll for recruitment agencies or companies with many employees where irregular payment patterns are common.

The software has the capacity to run thousands of payments simultaneously and to manage processes across different companies under one management portal."

"Octopaye have been a fantastic partner for our umbrella payroll operations. The system is incredibly user-friendly, flexible, and packed with features that have helped us streamline our processes and work more efficiently. The transition to Octopaye was handled seamlessly, making the entire process completely stress-free.

From day one, Simon, Rob, and Josh have provided exceptional flexibility and support and truly deserve recognition. The team are always friendly, responsive, and happy to help with any query, no matter how small. They’re also open to feedback and continually enhance the system with regular updates to meet our evolving needs.

I would highly recommend Octopaye to anyone looking for a payroll software provider that combines an excellent platform with outstanding customer support."

"Our mission is simple: to make payroll smarter, fairer, and more transparent for everyone involved. From the recruiters and contractors we serve, to the end hirers who trust us with their workforce compliance, we hold ourselves to the highest possible standard. In an industry that has historically carried a reputation for opacity and corner-cutting, we want to be the business that changes that narrative — one payroll, one relationship, one partnership at a time.

Compliance isn't a box we tick at OctoPaye. It's a culture. We live in a regulatory environment that is constantly evolving — IR35, the Umbrella Company market, HMRC scrutiny, the ongoing fight against disguised remuneration — and we take seriously our responsibility to stay ahead of that curve. But compliance without trust is just bureaucracy. What we're genuinely striving for is an environment where every contractor can pick up their payslip, understand exactly what they've been paid and why, and feel confident they're working with a provider that has nothing to hide. Transparency isn't a feature we offer — it's a value we hold."
