Futurelink PEO Solution

Our comprehensive services provide a range of benefits that empower both clients and contractors.

What is PEO?

A Professional Employer Organisation (PEO) solution is a strategic co-employment partnership where a specialised provider like Futurelink Group assumes responsibility for all employment-related tasks. Our PEO solution offers a fully compliant payroll option that delivers complete PAYE benefits to workers, including tax deductions at source, National Insurance management, and statutory entitlements.

Unlike traditional umbrella services or in-house payroll, our PEO solution shifts employment costs to the agency or end client, eliminating any deductions from workers’ pay beyond standard tax and National Insurance. This means workers retain their full contracted rate while gaining access to Fortune 500-level benefits. Businesses benefit from streamlined administration, reduced compliance risks, and significant cost savings – often up to 20% on overheads.

Our PEO solution is ideal for contractors who value professional independence alongside robust support. We handle everything from payroll processing to worker queries on pensions, statutory payments, and more, allowing you to concentrate on productivity and business expansion.

How Our PEO Solution Works

The Futurelink PEO solution operates on a simple yet powerful co-employment model:

  • Workers receive a compliant Contract of Employment directly with Futurelink Group.
  • We manage all payroll, tax, National Insurance, pensions, holiday accrual, and statutory payments.
  • Agencies or end clients pay a transparent fee that covers employment costs – no hidden charges or deductions from workers.
  • Payments are processed daily with same-day availability, ensuring workers get paid quickly and accurately.

In contrast to standard PAYE models, where workers bear employment costs on top of taxes, our PEO solution ensures agencies cover these expenses. Workers enjoy identical net pay to in-house employees, plus full employment rights, without any uplift penalties or year-end tax surprises.

This PEO solution is fully IR35-compliant, positioning workers inside IR35 with genuine employment status for maximum security and benefits.

Who Benefits From PEO?

Every business can thrive with Futurelink’s PEO solution, from startups to global enterprises. Our PEO solution levels the playing field by providing access to advanced HR, payroll, and benefits typically available only to large corporations. It helps attract and retain top talent through superior packages, while delivering efficiency gains and cost reductions.

Recruitment agencies love our PEO solution for simplified contractor management and higher placement success rates. End clients appreciate risk-free workforce scaling without entity setup. International firms use it to hire UK talent compliantly and quickly.

FAQs About PEO

We’ve compiled some frequently asked questions to help answer your queries. We’re always updating these based on your feedback. Have a question? Let us know! 

Under our PEO solution, workers will be on a Contract of Employment, ensuring legal compliance and granting access to comprehensive employee benefits. 

Yes, you are. Futurelink employs you fully when you sign our contract of employment. When processing payroll, we deduct all necessary tax and NI contributions at source, which are then immediately submitted to HMRC. No tax return is required unless you earn self-employed income elsewhere.  

Other than income tax and National Insurance, which will vary depending on your level of weekly or monthly income, there will be no other deductions to your income. The client/agency pays a small fee for us to manage your payments.  

Yes, you are. This is determined by a proportion of your gross payment (usually 12.07%), which can be held back by us upon request. Otherwise, it is usually paid alongside your regular pay.  

Yes, you do. You are automatically enrolled into our NEST pension scheme after 12 weeks (3 months) of employment. This is determined on 5% contribution from the worker, and 3% from the client. The NEST pension scheme can be imported to another personal pension scheme later.  

Yes, it is. As a contracted worker, we provide you with comprehensive coverage for various insurances, including Personal Accident, Employer’s Liability, and Public Liability.
