Membership in the FairPay Contractors Scheme is designed to support compliance and transparency for businesses that engage with temporary workers. Whether you’re a contractor, recruitment agency, payroll intermediary, or a related business, FairPay memberships provide a structured framework for meeting industry standards and enhancing ethical practices.
Primary Memberships
Primary Memberships are available to contractors, recruitment agencies, and payroll intermediaries that directly engage with temporary workers. This membership includes access to tailored advice, detailed audits, and comprehensive guidance to help businesses meet legal and ethical employment obligations. Primary members are entitled to display the FairPay logo as a mark of compliance and accountability.
Extended Memberships
Extended Memberships are an additional, limited option for contractors and recruitment agencies that exclusively use a FairPay-registered Primary Member to manage their temporary worker arrangements. Extended members can also display the FairPay logo, signaling their commitment to compliance throughout their supply chain. These members undergo simpler audits that cover only basic and limited criteria.
Use of the FairPay Logo:
Both Primary and Extended members have the right to display the FairPay logo. This serves as a visible symbol of compliance,
promoting trust and transparency with clients, contractors, and stakeholders. The logo acts as an assurance that your business
adheres to high standards of ethical and legal practices.
Support with Compliance Frameworks:
Primary Members receive guidance on compliance areas such as CIS, PAYE, Umbrella models, and IR35 regulations. This support is
tailored to industry-specific needs, simplifying complex processes and ensuring adherence to legal obligations.
External Provider Audits:
FairPay audits are central to the membership. These rigorous evaluations assess compliance practices, identify areas for improvement,
and encourage continual alignment with legal and ethical standards. Primary members undergo detailed audits, while
Extended members receive streamlined, limited reviews.
Promoting Trust in Your Supply Chain:
The FairPay logo extends compliance assurance throughout your supply chain, enhancing confidence among payment providers,
subcontractors, and end clients. This shared commitment to transparency and ethical practices strengthens partnerships across
the workforce sector.
Access to Resources and Expertise:
Members have access to exclusive tools, templates, and resources to streamline their compliance efforts. Additionally,
FairPay provides expert support and guidance to address specific challenges and ensure members maintain regulatory alignment.
Enhanced Business Practices:
Membership helps businesses establish ethical, efficient, and compliant employment practices. Whether you’re a start-up or
an established organization, FairPay provides a framework for building trust, improving operations, and reducing risks.
