EOR United Kingdom
UK employment compliance, right-to-work checks, HMRC registration, and auto-enrolment pension management.
UK Employer of Record
Post-Brexit, employing staff in the United Kingdom requires a separate compliance framework from European operations. UK employment law operates under the Employment Rights Act 1996, with distinct rules for unfair dismissal (two-year qualifying period), statutory sick pay, and redundancy procedures. Employers must conduct right-to-work checks under the Immigration Act 2014, register with HMRC for PAYE, and comply with auto-enrolment pension obligations from the first day of employment.
Octagon operates as an Employer of Record in the UK, providing compliant employment contracts under English and Welsh law, PAYE payroll processing, workplace pension auto-enrolment through NEST or qualifying schemes, and National Insurance contribution management. For companies with employees in both the Netherlands and the UK, we offer a unified service that handles the regulatory differences between the two jurisdictions under one contract, with both entities owned by Octagon directly.
