Celebrating Industry-Leading Excellence

People Group Services has earned recognition as a standout provider in the UK’s payroll and employment outsourcing landscape. Their recent win in the Global 100 - 2026 awards for Best Umbrella & PEO Joint Employment Provider UK underscores their long-standing commitment to compliance, transparency and client-focused service. With more than two decades of experience, the company continues to deliver solutions that empower recruitment agencies, contractors and businesses of all sizes to streamline operations and reduce risk.

A Trusted Partner in Payroll and Employment

People Group Services provides outsourced employment and payroll solutions designed to simplify complex administrative burdens. Their services support contractors, freelancers and businesses through robust systems that ensure complete compliance, professional guidance and reliable processing. The organisation emphasises people-focused support, offering expert assistance to help clients navigate regulatory environments with confidence. Their focus on compliance remains central, helping businesses stay protected from unexpected liabilities and legislative changes.

PEO and Joint Employment Expertise

As pioneers in adapting the Professional Employment Organisation model for the UK market, People Group Services has created a fully transparent and effective approach to outsourced PAYE. Their PEO model, developed with guidance from governing bodies and introduced to UK recruiters in recent years, provides clear, simple payslips and ensures supply chain transparency. Recruitment agencies benefit from reduced administrative load, fewer contractor queries and improved brand perception. Contractors enjoy an easier onboarding and payroll experience backed by dedicated support.

Joint employment offers two businesses—typically People Group Services and a recruitment agency—the ability to share employer responsibilities. Workers gain clarity on who employs them, with both entities jointly accountable for statutory obligations. This approach strengthens service delivery for staffing companies that may prefer to focus on sourcing talent while relying on People Group Services for payroll execution, compliance management and employer-of-record expertise.

Umbrella Payroll with Full Compliance and Benefits

The company’s umbrella solution has been a go-to service for contractors for many years. Under this model, contractors are directly employed by People Umbrella, ensuring statutory rights, compliant processing and consistent payment cycles. Standard benefits include a reward platform, comprehensive insurance and a dedicated care team. Transparent processes and a streamlined experience help maintain worker confidence while supporting agencies that rely on dependable payroll partners.

Commitment to Compliance and Industry Standards

People Group Services has demonstrated exceptional diligence in meeting the highest levels of compliance. Notably, their PEO model has been reviewed and recognised by HMRC and received approval from Professional Passport. These endorsements highlight the company’s dedication to delivering trusted, compliant solutions within an evolving regulatory landscape. Their transparent processes help businesses safeguard themselves from costly compliance errors.

Innovating for the Future

The organisation continues to innovate with solutions that address modern challenges facing recruitment agencies and contractors. Recent developments include the introduction of a fully transparent payroll compliance system, providing enhanced protection and peace of mind for clients. Their insights into upcoming legislative changes further support businesses preparing for new employment laws taking effect in the near future.
