Payroll & Compliance

Contract talent, zero exposure.

The value of interim talent is lost if it arrives wrapped in administrative risk. Our payroll and compliance support removes the burden entirely, so you can focus on the work rather than the paperwork.

The problems we solve

The friction that stops firms using contractors.

“We want interim talent but the compliance risk sits with us.”

It does not have to. We provide the status determination, the compliant engagement model and the documentation for every placement, so the exposure that stops many firms using contractors is removed before day one.

“Managing contractor payroll is consuming our finance team's time.”

We take the whole burden: deductions, reporting, record-keeping and payment, delivered accurately and on time. Your team receives a single clean invoice and gives none of its own reporting cycle to contractor administration.

“An audit is coming and our contractor records are scattered.”

Every Carnegie engagement is documented to the standard an audit expects, from IR35 determination to right-to-work evidence, retained and retrievable. When the question comes, the answer is already filed.

What we handle

Every obligation, met before it is asked.

IR35 assessment & compliance

Clear status determinations and compliant engagement models for every contract placement, so hiring managers can engage interim talent without exposure. We keep pace with the legislation so our clients do not have to.

Contractor payroll management

Accurate, on-time payroll for contract professionals, with all deductions, reporting and record-keeping handled. Contractors stay focused on the work; clients receive a single clean invoice.

Right-to-work verification

Thorough eligibility checks completed before day one, documented to the standard an audit would expect. One less compliance burden sitting with your internal teams.

Complete records, always

Every engagement is documented end to end: status determinations, contracts, payroll records and verification evidence, retained and retrievable whenever your auditors or HMRC ask.

“We ensure every placement meets its obligations, so you can focus on the work rather than the paperwork.”
