Setting a new standard in payroll compliance.

From April 2026, Joint & Several Liability places a greater onus on recruitment agencies to evidence what’s happening across their payroll supply chain, not just in principle, but in practice.

In response, we’ve developed a new Agency Portal designed to give agencies clear, verifiable, real-time visibility across the payroll lifecycle, from calculation through to confirmed settlement with HMRC.

Using intelligent automation and secure system integrations, the Portal allows agencies to see how pay has been calculated, what’s been reported, and when it’s been paid, supported by live HMRC validation and a robust audit trail.

The Portal moves beyond retrospective reporting, providing practical, defensible compliance through a system built for everyday agency use.

Clarity and control

What the Agency Portal can do for agencies

The Agency Portal gives recruitment agencies clear visibility across the payroll supply chain, bringing key information together in one place and making it easier to evidence compliance. All information is presented at a granular, agency-specific level, with secure, permission-based access.

Through the portal, agencies can:

  • View payslips, assignment schedules and Key Information Documents (KIDs) in one place
  • See a full breakdown of pay from assignment through to net payment
  • Verify PAYE tax and National Insurance calculations directly against HMRC
  • Access Real Time Information (RTI) submissions at agency and worker level
  • Confirm PAYE account status and payments made to HMRC
  • Retain a clear, auditable record for internal checks, client assurance, or HMRC enquiries

From payroll to proof

How the Portal works in practice

The Agency Portal uses intelligent automation and secure integrations to carry out checks that would otherwise be manual and time-consuming.

Once payroll has run, automated background processes validate calculations, compare results directly with HMRC data, and store the outputs as evidence within the portal. This provides agencies with live information and reliable records, without the need to recreate checks manually or rely on assumptions.

Watch our explainer videos

To make this as transparent as possible, we’ve created a series of short, on-demand video clips taken from a recent webinar. These videos show exactly what agencies see when they access the portal, including payslip and KID visibility, HMRC-aligned calculation checks, RTI reporting, and PAYE account confirmation.

Each clip focuses on a specific element of the system, allowing you to dip in and view the areas most relevant to your role or supply chain.

We’ve also brought these videos together into a single downloadable PDF, which includes:

  • A short explanation of each video
  • Direct links to every clip

Support and partnership

Working closely with agencies

The Agency Portal is supported by our experienced client care and account management team, who work closely with agencies to ensure the solution fits their supply chain and operating model.

Support is not limited to the system itself. We provide:

  • One-to-one demonstrations of the portal
  • Onboarding and refresher training
  • Ongoing client care support
  • Guidance if queries are raised by HMRC or end clients

The most effective next step for many agencies is a one-to-one conversation. This allows us to understand your requirements in detail and agree the most appropriate and effective route forward for your business.
