Payroll pirates are non-compliant, unethical payroll providers that put businesses like yours at risk. They lure recruiters and end clients with low fees but cut corners on tax, workers’ rights, and legal obligations. The result? Costly fines, reputational damage, and workers left in the lurch.
At FCSA, we set the standard for compliance in the payroll industry. Our independently assessed members meet the highest legal and ethical standards, protecting recruiters, businesses, and workers from non-compliant operators.
FCSA is the only not-for-profit accreditation body in the payroll intermediary sector, and we’ve been setting the standard since 2008. With over 15 years of experience, we know compliance inside and out. Our verification system is built to give you absolute confidence in every payslip we check. When you work with us, you can be sure we’re working hard to protect your business.
✅ Independent Accreditation – Our rigorous assessments ensure payroll providers meet HMRC, legal, and ethical requirements.
