Your Details

Market entry without entity setup

Skip Companies House filings, director appointments, registered office arrangements, UK business banking, and HMRC employer registration. Komp’s existing UK infrastructure lets you make offers as soon as you find the right person.

Hire-to-retire lifecycle management

Komp Activate runs onboarding, contracts, and benefits; Komp PayOps runs monthly PAYE payroll with RTI filings; Komp TimeOps tracks attendance, leave, and timesheets; and compliant offboarding closes the loop, all in one flow.

One view across every country

Komp Workforce gives HR, Finance, and Legal a single source of truth for UK and global headcount; payroll status, tax codes, pension contributions, holiday balances, and compliance alerts with audit trails built in.

Compliant employment contracts

We issue contracts that include the written statement of employment particulars required from day one- pay, hours, holiday, notice, probation, and other key terms aligned to current UK legislation and reviewed as the law changes.

Digital onboarding

We collect right-to-work evidence, starter information or P45 details, bank details, and emergency contacts; register the employee for payroll; apply the correct tax code; and enrol them into the workplace pension, so they are set up before day one.

Payroll and salary disbursement

Komp PayOps calculates gross-to-net pay in GBP, applies all statutory deductions, submits Full Payment Submissions to HMRC on or before each payday, and pays employees through our owned payment infrastructure with clear payslips.

Income Tax and PAYE

We apply HMRC tax codes (including Scottish and Welsh rates where relevant), handle student and postgraduate loan deductions, and manage year-end duties such as P60s and benefits reporting.

National Insurance and statutory payments

We calculate and remit employee and employer National Insurance using current rates and category letters, and administer Statutory Sick Pay, Maternity, Paternity, Adoption, Shared Parental, and Bereavement Pay.

Pension auto-enrolment

We assess eligibility, enrol qualifying workers, process employer and employee contributions (minimum 8% combined), manage opt-outs and three-yearly re-enrolment, and keep records ready for The Pensions Regulator.

Time, leave, and HR support

Komp TimeOps tracks holiday entitlement, sickness absence, and working hours against the Working Time Regulations. Employees get responsive support, and records are held in line with UK GDPR.

Offboarding and final pay

We manage resignations and terminations with the correct notice, fair process, and, where applicable, redundancy consultation and statutory redundancy pay. Final pay includes accrued holiday, and we issue the P45 and pension leaver notifications.

Startups going international

Put your first UK sales, customer success, or engineering hires in place without tying up capital in a subsidiary, and validate the market before you commit.

Technology and SaaS companies

Tap UK talent in London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Cambridge, and beyond, and scale European go-to-market teams quickly.

HR and People leaders

Deliver a consistent employee experience across countries while Komp absorbs PAYE, pensions, and changing UK employment rules.

Finance and Operations leaders

Get predictable costs, consolidated invoicing, owned payment rails with zero FX markup, and audit-ready records for every UK hire.

Enterprises and regulated industries

Use EOR for contractor-to-employee conversions to manage IR35 risk, post-acquisition integration, pilots, or markets where a subsidiary is not yet justified.

AI Agent Swarms with human control

Autonomous agents continuously check payroll, classification, contracts, and regulatory change. Recommendations are surfaced for review before anything is executed- autonomous intelligence, human control.

Classification intelligence for IR35

Our jurisdiction-based rules engine analyses 50+ risk factors to help you decide whether a UK worker should be engaged as a contractor or employee, with audit-ready documentation.

Owned payroll infrastructure

Komp PayOps runs on owned infrastructure with 135+ currencies, transparent flat fees, and no FX markups, so your UK payroll costs are exactly what you expect.

One platform, four modules

Komp Activate, Komp Workforce, Komp TimeOps, and Komp PayOps connect hiring, workforce records, time, and pay across the UK and 150+ countries.

Enterprise-grade security

AES-256 encryption, SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, GDPR compliance, role-based access control, and AWS hosting with multi-region redundancy protect your UK employee data.

Real-time visibility and reporting

Live dashboards for payroll status, employment costs, holiday balances, and compliance alerts, with exportable reports for Finance, HR, and audit.

Hire without setup delays

Setting up a UK company still means directors, a registered office, business banking, HMRC registration, and a pension scheme. With Komp, you can make offers and onboard without waiting for any of it.

Stay compliant from day one

UK employment law is detailed and employee-protective, and it is changing fast. Payroll errors, late RTI filings, or missed pension duties trigger penalties. Komp keeps every obligation current.

Reduce cost and overhead

Turn entity, accounting, and local HR costs into a predictable operating expense, and avoid the cost of shutting an entity down if plans change.

Deliver a better employee experience

Accurate GBP pay, proper pension enrolment, clear payslips, and responsive support help you attract and keep strong UK talent.

Manage the UK like every other market

See UK headcount, costs, and compliance in the same platform as the rest of your global workforce, no separate vendor, no data silos.

Employment contracts and working rights

Employees must receive a written statement of particulars from day one. Pay must meet the National Minimum Wage / National Living Wage. The Working Time Regulations set a 48-hour average weekly limit (unless the worker opts out), rest breaks, and 5.6 weeks’ paid holiday.

PAYE, Income Tax, and National Insurance

Employers must deduct Income Tax and employee National Insurance, pay employer National Insurance, report every payment through RTI, and pay HMRC on time. Scotland has its own income tax bands. Late or inaccurate filings attract automatic penalties and interest.

Workplace pension auto-enrolment

Eligible workers aged 22 to State Pension age earning over £10,000 a year must be enrolled into a qualifying scheme, with at least 8% total contributions (minimum 3% from the employer). Opt-outs, re-enrolment, and record keeping are all regulated.

Statutory leave and pay

Statutory Sick Pay is payable from the first day of absence from April 2026. Paternity leave and unpaid parental leave are now day-one rights. Maternity, adoption, shared parental, and bereavement leave and pay also apply.

Termination, notice, and redundancy

Statutory notice is one week after one month’s service, rising by one week per complete year to a maximum of 12 weeks. For dismissals taking effect from 1 January 2027, the unfair dismissal qualifying period falls from two years to six months and the compensation cap is removed, so fair process matters from much earlier in employment.

Right to work and immigration

Every employee’s right to work must be checked before they start, with records kept. Civil penalties for employing someone without the right to work can reach tens of thousands of pounds per worker. Sponsored workers require a sponsor license.

Data protection

Employee data must be processed under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018- with a lawful basis, security controls, retention rules, and breach procedures.

Worker classification (IR35)

Contractors working like employees can fall inside the off-payroll working rules. Misclassification can lead to back taxes, National Insurance, and penalties.
