Resource Details

SafeRec is a multi-award-winning tech and compliance company built specifically for recruitment agencies that work with umbrella companies. Our mission is simple: to give agencies control, clarity, and confidence in a world where trust alone is no longer enough.

With HMRC’s recent announcement confirming joint and several liability between agencies and umbrella companies, compliance has taken on a new urgency. If your umbrella fails to pay tax, your agency could be held liable — even if you weren’t directly responsible. One-off audits won’t protect you. You now need continuous, independent evidence. That’s exactly what SafeRec delivers.

At the heart of SafeRec is the SafeRec Certification — the UK’s only certification that combines deep legal due diligence with real-time payslip auditing. Every payslip and CIS statement issued by a SafeRec Certified Umbrella is automatically audited, matched to RTI submissions, and cross-checked against the umbrella’s HMRC tax account to confirm PAYE and NIC have actually been paid.

Each month, your agency receives a tailored Tax Compliance Report from SafeRec, showing which workers were audited and confirming full tax compliance. No more guesswork. No more blind spots. Just clear, independent proof.

You can also download 30–50 page Legal Compliance Reports for every SafeRec Certified Umbrella — completely free. These are written by a regulated law firm and cover everything from contracts and ownership to processes and policies. It’s the kind of evidence that protects your agency, impresses auditors, and reassures clients or buyers in the event of a sale.

Beyond certification, SafeRec gives you a full compliance toolkit:

• Manage all umbrella partners (certified or not) in one place
• Generate Key Information Documents (KIDs) in seconds
• Access real-time payslip audit data
• Build a branded Umbrella Comparator for your workers
• Receive instant alerts if an umbrella loses its accreditation
