The most professional and caring payroll team you’ll come across. Kim and Karen are the two people who I’ve dealt with frequently and am truly astonished as to their professionalism. They really go the extra mile and rectify issues which arise by third parties. It’s a pleasure to deal with the team and a shame that not more companies are like them. Thank you for all you do, have done and most likely will have to do in the future. Truly, no exaggeration, this team is really this good.

My experience with People Group Services has been exceptional. Ben and the entire team have demonstrated a high level of professionalism and efficiency in providing payroll services. The Anytime Wages service, in particular, has been a valuable benefit, allowing for advances where possible. Their commitment to transparency, quick responses, and overall positive engagement make People Group Services a reliable choice for payroll services. I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking a trustworthy and efficient payroll provider.

BE VERY CAREFUL. BEFORE JOINING PEOPLE GROUP SERVICES REMEMBER THESE THINGS:1. Count the number of hours you work every day. Your agency will offer you a daily rate and they will pretend that you only work 6 hour days. In reality you will work longer than this, and your agreed daily rate might fall below the national minimum wage. Do not expect them to make the adjustments, even if you are submitting timesheets that clearly state the number of hours you are working.2. Even as an agency worker, you are LEGALLY ENTITLED to holiday pay. People Group Services will try to subtract your holiday pay from your daily rate. Do not let them do this.DON'T SELL YOURSELVES SHORT. These agencies rely on their young, naive employees not asking any questions, not knowing their rights, and not having the confidence to stand up to them. You have rights. Don't forget that.

Nice people on the end of the phone but I was horrified by the margins - I feel I've been mis-sold - why is it necessary to take more then the taxman? that's a double whammy in this current climate. Not happy at all from now on I am only looking at FCSA registered umbrella's

People Group Services have been excellent at providing a professional, efficient and incentive based payroll service. I have tried other Umbrella companies and this one by far is the best. Questions are always answered in a timely fashion, the points reward system is a great feature you can use for many resources and most importantly pay is always on time and clear cut. I would happily recommend People Group Services to anyone.

Did not inform about the extortionate fees they charge for their services. When questioned they were very unsympathetic and sarcastic. Not the way to behave. Stay away!

During my time with People Group Services (2018 to present) I have found them to be helpful getting me started and answering queries and of course supportive, reasonable and understanding during the pandemic by taking the initiative to help .

Umbrella companies are by their nature extremely dodgy and parasitic on workers. This one raised their fee from me by 300% (for paying me!) and didn’t clearly inform me. Don’t trust them. I wanted to give zero stars. I am leaving them to go PAYE. Can’t wait!

I cannot believe there are 5 star reviews for this place. They can't be real. If you want to be ignored, endless stress, frustration, and to have your finances in an unknown state constantly, then these are the people. Honestly they have failed me more times than I can count. Which also doesn't seem to be their strong point. Avoid.

An excellent payroll company.I get a text each week before I’m paid.There is always a personal response to my emails, within 24 hours.The portal to access my payslips and p60 is easy to navigate, unlike some other payroll companies I could mention.The agreement to withhold a portion of my pay each week means I get holiday pay which is great for budgeting.Everything is done to make my life easier.The agency I’m working for gave me the option to invoice them direct or to use People Group Services. I’m so glad I chose the latter!

I came across a lot of teachers that didn’t receive a furlough payment or received it after being told they were not going to get anything. I was not one of those people (no stress), which is all thanks to People Group. They made the procedure as simple as it could be. Also, they ensured I received the highest amount for my furlough payment. Whenever I have had questions regarding my account, they have answered them swiftly and honestly. They hold themselves accountable for every penny. Keep up the good work! You absolute legends!

During the recent ..what happens to us (supply teachers) I have been informed of their ongoing concern for us. All I can say is they created a furlough payment for me without me having to worry too much. Thanks

The company with such bad reviews it had to change its name to try wipe the shame. Im betting that all these reviews as they are mainly 5 star are paid for! All left almost exactly 5 months ago. Maybe fake reviews or employees.Still, AVOID at ALL COSTS
