In today’s employment landscape, businesses need staffing solutions that combine flexibility, compliance, and fairness.
At Indeed Flex, we set the standard by employing all agency workers under the PAYE model and maintaining full compliance with GLAA and SEDEX standards. This ensures strict adherence to UK employment laws while providing robust support for both workers and employers.
Unlike gig platforms that rely on independent contractors and may bypass regulations like fair tipping laws or upcoming restrictions on zero-hours contracts, Indeed Flex offers a fully compliant alternative. Our approach ensures businesses and workers receive exceptional support without compromising on legal or ethical standards.
What makes Indeed Flex different?
1. Full compliance with employment law
At Indeed Flex, compliance isn’t just a box to tick — it’s at the heart of our model. Unlike platforms using independent contractors, our workers are PAYE employees, ensuring:
- Statutory Rights: Workers receive holiday pay, pensions, and sick leave.
- Alignment with the Employment (Allocation of Tips) Act: Tips are distributed fairly to all workers, including temporary staff.
- Reduced Legal Risks: Businesses avoid the ambiguity and liabilities of gig worker classification.
- National Insurance Contributions: Automatically deducted for tax compliance and to ease administrative burdens on
2. Transparent and fair pay
We prioritise transparency and fairness in compensation:
- All workers participate fully in tipping schemes.
- Wages are always above the legal minimum, with no hidden costs.
- National Insurance is fully managed, ensuring workers receive their benefits while reducing employer risk.
3. Stability for workers, flexibility for businesses
Our PAYE model ensures stability for workers while providing flexibility to businesses:
- Reliable staffing solutions for seasonal or fluctuating demand.
- Compliance with UK employment laws.
- Simplified tax and National Insurance contributions for businesses.
4. Ready for legislative change
Labour’s proposed Employment Rights Bill, including a ban on zero-hours contracts, will disrupt many gig platforms. At Indeed Flex, our PAYE approach ensures:
- Future-proof staffing solutions that meet all legislative requirements.
- Hassle-free management of tax and NI obligations.
Compliance with GLAA and SEDEX standards
Indeed Flex is proud to be fully compliant with GLAA (Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority) and SEDEX (Supplier Ethical Data Exchange) standards.
This ensures that our operations meet the highest ethical and regulatory benchmarks, safeguarding both employers and workers. Businesses can trust that their staffing solutions are aligned with global best practices and ethical employment standards.
Weekly payroll, Instant Pay option, and transparent scheduling
At Indeed Flex, workers are paid weekly, ensuring reliability and transparency:
- Week 1: Workers attend shifts Monday-Sunday, logging hours via the app.
- Week 2: Employers approve timesheets by Tuesday, and wages are deposited directly into workers’ bank accounts by Friday.
- Workers can easily track timesheets and approved hours within the app to ensure accuracy.
Instant Pay Option: Workers also have access to Instant Pay, allowing them to receive earned wages quickly, providing added financial flexibility.
