Employer of Record FAQs in United Kingdom
What is an Employer of Record in the United Kingdom?
An Employer of Record (EOR) in the United Kingdom is a third-party organization that becomes the legal employer of your UK-based workers, handling all employment administration, payroll, taxes, benefits, and compliance obligations. This allows your company to hire UK employees without establishing a local subsidiary or navigating the complexities of British employment law and HMRC requirements.
How quickly can I hire employees in the UK using Asanify's EOR?
With Asanify’s EOR service, you can hire UK employees in as little as 3-5 business days. We handle employment contract preparation, right-to-work verification, and all onboarding requirements, enabling rapid deployment of your UK workforce without the months typically required to establish a local entity.
Does using an EOR in the UK create permanent establishment risks?
When properly structured, using an EOR significantly reduces permanent establishment (PE) risks in the UK. Asanify acts as the legal employer, managing employment relationships and compliance obligations. However, your business activities and decision-making structures should be reviewed to ensure they don’t independently trigger PE status under UK tax law.
What employment benefits are mandatory in the United Kingdom?
Mandatory UK benefits include workplace pension auto-enrolment (with minimum employer contributions), statutory sick pay, statutory annual leave (28 days minimum including bank holidays), maternity/paternity/adoption leave and pay, and National Insurance contributions. Asanify manages all statutory benefits and can also administer voluntary benefits like private medical insurance.
How does payroll work with an EOR in the United Kingdom?
Asanify processes monthly payroll for your UK employees, calculating gross-to-net pay, withholding PAYE income tax and employee National Insurance, paying employer National Insurance, processing workplace pension contributions, and handling statutory payments. Employees receive salaries in GBP via direct bank transfer, with detailed payslips provided each pay period.
What are the notice period requirements in the UK?
UK statutory minimum notice periods are one week for employees with one month to two years of service, and one additional week per year of service thereafter (capped at 12 weeks). Employment contracts often specify longer notice periods. Asanify ensures all terminations comply with UK notice requirements, contractual obligations, and proper dismissal procedures.
Can I hire both employees and contractors in the UK through Asanify?
Yes, Asanify supports both employment and contractor engagement in the United Kingdom. We help ensure proper worker classification under UK employment law and HMRC guidelines (IR35 compliance), as misclassification can result in significant penalties, back taxes, and legal disputes. Our team provides guidance on the appropriate engagement model for your needs.
What is pension auto-enrolment in the UK?
UK employers must automatically enroll eligible employees into a workplace pension scheme and make minimum contributions (currently 3% of qualifying earnings, with employees contributing at least 5%). Asanify handles all auto-enrolment obligations, pension scheme administration, contribution processing, and ongoing compliance with The Pensions Regulator requirements.
How does Asanify handle UK employment law compliance?
Asanify maintains expert knowledge of UK employment legislation including the Employment Rights Act, Working Time Regulations, Equality Act, and TUPE regulations. We ensure compliant employment contracts, manage statutory obligations, handle disciplinary and grievance procedures properly, and stay current with legislative changes and tribunal precedents to protect your business.
