Revolutionising Payroll Compliance

For decades umbrella companies have had no regulation.

This meant a lack of protection for workers and umbrella companies being non-compliant in their practices to avoid taxes.

But now SafeRec is a company looking to change all that, and in this episode I am joined by the CEO Sébastien Sauca. He has spent nearly a decade working in the recruitment industry, proving himself as a successful Sales Director.

But even with all of his success, Sebastien saw room for improvement in the field of payroll compliance in the UK. That's why he started SafeRec with Jule Marcoueille to bring an AI-Driven solution dedicated to protecting temporary workers, agencies and end-hirers from payroll non-compliance.

Listen as Sébastien shares his reasons for starting the company and what the company is doing to revolutionise the payroll industry.

Payroll to count on

You've got this far, surely you need no more convincing. It’s a no-brainer to use Orca for your umbrella payroll services. Right?

Because the simple truth is, we’ve been at the coalface since 1997. And we’ve shaped the direction the industry’s moved in.

We were the first umbrella company to be forensically audited in real-time and the first umbrella company to provide real-time payslip audits.

Pretty visionary. But we don’t just envisage, we take action. That’s how we make real change for our clients and move the needle on their business growth.

So, you would have to be a fool not to use Orca after reading this...?

Ahem… we couldn't possibly comment. *cough cough*
