The Numbers Every
Client Should Know
Holiday pay, employer NI, pension contributions... these are statutory requirements. Every recruiter pays them. Every employer pays them. They're unavoidable.
Worker Base Rate
This is the cost to put a worker on site before we make a penny. Anyone charging you less is cutting corners on statutory obligations.
Statutory Compliance
We don't "hide" these costs in our margin. We itemise them so you know exactly where your money goes. This transparency protects you from legal and financial risks associated with non-compliant payroll practices.
Statutory Breakdown (Hourly)
Why Our Margin Isn't Fixed
The statutory costs are identical for everyone. Our margin is the only variable. It's not a random number — it's calculated based on the complexity of your operation and the volume of staff you need.
Low Margin
- 50+ workers daily
- Same staff daily
- Simple roles
- Single site
- Predictable shifts
Requires site visit for accurate quoting
Medium Margin
- 15-50 workers daily
- Some rotation
- Mixed roles (FLT/Production)
- 1-2 sites
- Variable hours
Requires site visit for accurate quoting
High Margin
- 1-15 workers daily
- Different staff daily
- Specialist roles (Drivers)
- Multiple sites
- High-touch support
Requires site visit for accurate quoting
Legal Requirements Are Unavoidable
If an agency is quoting you a rate that is less than the total of the statutory costs plus their operational costs, they are likely either non-compliant with tax laws or failing to provide workers with their legal rights.
