NRP Compliance Series – Protecting Construction and Civil Engineering Firms from Hidden Payroll and Employment Risks

It’s one of the biggest compliance blind spots in the industry.

In construction and civil engineering, the line between self-employment and employment has become increasingly blurred. Many firms still believe their contractor setup is compliant because they pay workers as self-employed, but HMRC and employment tribunals often take a different view.

This series has been created to help you understand where the real risks lie when engaging self-employed workers directly, and how to stay compliant while keeping the flexibility your business needs.

Over the coming weeks, we’ll look at the key compliance areas that regularly catch companies out and explain how NRP’s model provides a simple, safe, and cost-free solution.

You’ll learn:

1. How misclassification can lead to unexpected PAYE and NI liabilities.
2. Why an HMRC investigation can expand far beyond one issue.
3. How employment law exposure can lead to backdated claims and tribunal costs.
4. And how using NRP’s CIS compliance model removes those risks, without adding cost to your business

If you currently pay self-employed sole traders directly, these insights could protect your company from serious tax and employment problems.
