With the ERB and Umbrella legislation due to take effect in April 2026, many recruitment companies are reviewing whether to bring payroll in-house or continue to partner externally.

It’s a logical question, but one that often overlooks the real operational cost of running payroll yourself.

An in-house setup means employing payroll and compliance staff to handle everything from worker onboarding to RTI submissions, HMRC reporting, pensions and holiday accruals. Add the cost of cover for annual leave, sickness and staff turnover, plus ongoing training and system maintenance, and it becomes a year-round management task that quickly drains resources.

That’s where New Red Planet Ltd makes the difference.

We provide a fully compliant, FCSA-accredited PAYE payroll infrastructure that sits neatly behind your brand. You retain control and visibility over your workers, while we handle the day-to-day payroll and compliance processes.

What you get:

  • A ready-built payroll team, so there’s no need to recruit or manage internal staff.

  • Consistent cover, with no disruption during holidays, sickness or busy periods.

  • Operational efficiency, with systems, insurances and processes already in place.

  • Future-proof compliance aligned with the ERB and Umbrella reforms coming next year.

  • Optional 24/7 payroll support for time-critical assignments.

In short, you keep the control of an in-house model without the cost and resource pressure of running one yourself.
