Navigate the complexities of workforce compliance with an MSP

No matter where you are in the world or what industry you're in, the legislation and compliance requirements you need to meet are getting more stringent and far-reaching. Keeping your workforce compliant is especially tricky as supply chains for contingent workers become more complex. 

You need to make sure your business stays on the right side of the rules. A small oversight could result in fines, project delays and reputational damage. The challenge is staying compliant without the associated admin taking over other work – you probably can’t justify hiring a whole team to keep on top of it. 

The most efficient solution is working with a technology-driven managed service provider (MSP). An automated system can give you confidence that all the boxes have been ticked, without any of the headaches.

More contingent staff, more rules

For most organisations, contingent staff used to be a small percentage of their total workforce. But in recent years that proportion has started to grow considerably, as companies become more agile and responsive to market conditions. 

Contingent workers once didn’t need to undergo the same rigorous checks you would conduct before hiring a permanent employee. That’s no longer the case. Legislation around temporary staffing is now much stricter, so you need to make sure everything is covered.

How well do you know your supply chain?

A major challenge in staffing compliance is how complex supply chains have become. You may have clear regulations set with your own suppliers, but are they sourcing staff directly or through yet another partner? 

For many, the supply chain goes several levels beyond what they can see and what is realistic to police. When you don’t know how many levels of providers there are in the process, you can never be 100% confident of compliance. And that’s before factoring in the many models of employment they could be using.

While a lack of visibility might be understandable, the final responsibility rests with you as the employer. If anything is improper, your business will face the consequences. And ultimately, today’s savvy workers are more likely than ever to pick up on important steps being missed during contracting – which could result in them accepting an offer elsewhere.

To get a handle on all these different regulations and points of potential error, the work needs to be centralised and continuously monitored.

Full transparency and automation

Our platform brings everything under one user-friendly dashboard, streamlining compliance and making it simple to incorporate these essential tasks into the day-to-day operations of your business.

Since everyone supplying into us meets our standards, you don’t need to worry about differing interpretations of the rules. We have one set of rules, and we carefully vet any additional suppliers to make sure they provide evidence of meeting all relevant regulatory and compliance requirements.

We set up system alerts for ongoing compliance checks or to renew any certifications that expire mid-contract and could lead to costly project delays – this goes beyond day one compliance. From contract offer and background checks through to the final payslip, we make sure you’re 100% compliant.

Quick rollout, adapted to your needs

With 36 years’ experience, we know that compliance requirements are different for every company. That’s why we adapt the system to suit your needs.

It might be that you need complex certifications, maybe you hire staff to multiple sites, or have cross-nation regulations to meet – whatever it is, we’ll make sure it’s set up just right in the system so you’re never left using workarounds or shortcuts. You can count on everything working as you need it. 

Even with the system being adapted to suit, there’s no lengthy rollout process. We get everything set up quickly – as we know that each day without an effective compliance management system is a day your business is exposed to risk.
