What Opus Platforms does

A UK staffing platform that runs the agency for you — on WhatsApp.

Opus Platforms is an automation-first staffing agency and software platform for UK temporary work. We handle onboarding, GPS clock-in, PAYE payroll, and weekly Friday pay — so employers post a shift and workers get paid, with no phone calls and no spreadsheets in between.

How does Opus replace traditional staffing agencies?

Opus runs the staffing agency function, but every step — shift posting, allocation, attendance, timesheets, payroll, and invoicing — is automated. Workers operate through WhatsApp; employers use a dashboard. Removing phone-and-spreadsheet overhead delivers 11–23% savings versus traditional agency markups.

What does Opus charge employers?

A single per-hour bill rate covering worker pay, employer National Insurance, holiday pay, pension auto-enrolment, and the Opus platform fee. No setup fees, no monthly subscription, no minimum spend. The minimum bill rate is £20.83 per hour (April 2026).

How fast can a worker start a shift?

Onboarding through WhatsApp takes minutes. Once Right-to-Work is verified and required training is complete, the worker reaches Green compliance status and can accept matching shifts immediately. The first eligible worker to confirm takes the slot.

Is Opus UK-only and PAYE?

Yes. Opus operates exclusively in the United Kingdom. Every worker is a PAYE employee with full statutory protections — holiday pay (12.07%), pension auto-enrolment, statutory sick pay, and employer National Insurance contributions. No self-employed gig contracts.
