How we're changing the game with transparency

Let's get real for a second. Every time a contractor gets paid through an umbrella company, they're putting their hard-earned cash on the line. And recruiters? You're staking your reputation on that umbrella's compliance. 

So, how do you know who to trust? 

Enter SafeRec, the certification that provides our contractors and supply chains with real-time auditing and due-digilience confirmation. 

We've teamed up with SafeRec to blow the lid off the perceived dark arts of Umbrella payroll. It's our way of proving we're playing by the rules, every single time.

Here's the lowdown

• We audit 100% payslip, 100% of the time.

• We share the full audit report with EVERYONE in the supply chain

• No hiding, no sneaky business, just pure transparency

Why? Because we believe you deserve to know exactly what's happening with your money.

So why SafeRec certified?

SafeRec's not messing around. They carry out a real-time full forensic audit on every payslip. We're talking:

1. Pre-calculation check, making sure the numbers add up from the get-go

2. Overall check, hunting down any missing pieces in your payslip puzzle

3. Deep audit, double-checking every deduction, because details matter

But wait, there's more! WTT Legal provide a full operational assessment including fit and proper person tests, contract assessments, and operational compliance to ensure we aren’t just talking the talk, we are walking the walk.  This is why we are SafeRec certified, to give you a complete supply chain risk assessment. It's like a financial health check for your entire operation.

Compliance on autopilot

Here's the best part, you don't have to lift a finger. These processes are carried out 100% of the time on 100% of our payrolls. We're talking:

• All employee payments audited

• Deductions made by the book (HMRC's book, that is)

• Tax payments cross-referenced and directly on our HMRC Tax Portal.  We don’t just lift the car bonnet, we show you how the engine works.

And recruiters, we've got your back too. You get 24/7 access to all your contractors' payroll through our custom built compliance hub, The Apex. Need to prove your compliance? It's all there at your fingertips.

Peace of mind

We're not just talking about transparency - we're living it. With Orca Pay Group and SafeRec, you can always prove:

• Your supply chain is 100% compliant, always

• Contractors get every penny they've earned, including full holiday pay

• HMRC-stamped business tax statements at your fingertips

Ready to experience payroll you can trust? Let's chat. It's time to bring some honesty to the world of contracting.

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*
