Fast and flexible like a platform. Compliant and robust like an agency.

We combine digital-first efficiency with full PAYE employment protection to deliver measurable cost savings and risk mitigation for enterprise staffing operations.

A Better Way Forward

Traditional staffing vs the Opus approach.

TraditionalOpus

Multiple intermediaries→Direct platform connection

Manual verification→Automated compliance

Phone and email→WhatsApp + web portal

Slow confirmations→Instant shift matching

Variable payment cycles→Weekly guaranteed pay

Hidden fees→Transparent £20/hr rate

Full PAYE Compliance, Zero Complexity

Unlike platforms that rely on umbrella companies or self-employment models, Opus operates as a direct PAYE employer.

Complete Statutory Compliance

All PAYE, National Insurance, and pension obligations handled automatically. RTW verification, contract management, and payroll processing fully automated and auditable.

Zero Umbrella Company Liability

As a direct PAYE employer, Opus eliminates umbrella company risks entirely. No agency liability for third-party PAYE compliance under April 2026 regulations.

Full Employment Protections for Workers

Workers receive pension contributions, holiday pay accrual, statutory sick pay from day one, and all employment rights. No self-employment tax burden.

Reduced Audit Risk

Automated compliance checks, digital audit trails, and government-approved verification processes reduce regulatory exposure and streamline HMRC audits.

Your workforce is covered. Your business is protected.

April 2026 Update

Major UK Employment Law Changes

The Employment Rights Act 2025 introduces significant changes effective 6 April 2026.

Statutory Sick Pay from Day One

All workers now qualify for SSP from their first day of absence, regardless of earnings. Lower earnings limit removed.

Umbrella Company PAYE Shift

Recruitment agencies become liable for PAYE compliance when workers are engaged via umbrella companies. Joint and several liability introduced.

Joint Liability for End Clients

Businesses must ensure correct PAYE and NICs operation throughout the supply chain. Increased audit and penalty risk for non-compliance.

Why This Matters

Working with non-compliant platforms or umbrella companies now carries increased regulatory and financial risk. As a direct PAYE employer, Opus eliminates these concerns entirely, your workers are employed directly by us, with full statutory protections from day one.

Unlike traditional agencies, Opus offers the same flexibility and features you expect from modern work platforms, WhatsApp shift booking, instant notifications, GPS clock-in, and 24/7 platform assistant support, all while providing complete PAYE employment protection.

The best of both worlds: platform efficiency with employment security.
