Payslips you can verify for yourself.
We are integrating our payroll with FCSA's veriPAYE. Once complete, agencies and end clients can verify our payslips free of charge through FCSA's Diligence Hub.
Who the FCSA are
The Freelancer and Contractor Services Association (FCSA) is a not-for-profit organisation for the UK contractor and umbrella sector. Alongside its accreditation scheme, it provides tools that help recruitment agencies and end clients check the providers in their labour supply chains.
What veriPAYE does
- Every pay run checked: each payment is checked against payroll integrity rules covering tax, deductions and minimum wage, on every payment cycle rather than occasional samples.
- A clear status: agencies and end clients see a simple Verified or Flagged status for the provider.
- Every engagement type: umbrella, CIS and PEO payments are all covered.
- Worker privacy: third parties never see workers' personal pay data.
- Free for agencies: FCSA makes veriPAYE verification free of charge for recruitment agencies.
What the FCSA Diligence Hub does
Diligence Hub is the FCSA's secure online platform for sharing due diligence. Instead of chasing questionnaires and documents from every provider, agencies view a verified, up-to-date due diligence record in one place. Linked with veriPAYE, one verified record supports compliance checks and live payroll verification.
Why it matters under joint and several liability (JSL)
Since 6 April 2026, HMRC can recover unpaid PAYE and National Insurance from the recruitment agency that contracts with the end client, or from the end client where there is no agency, if an umbrella company fails to account for it. Choosing a compliant provider, and being able to show the checks you have made, is now essential.
Early warning
Verification on every pay run means a problem is flagged straight away, not months later by HMRC.
An evidence trail
Verification statuses and Diligence Hub records give you dated proof of your ongoing due diligence.
Layered assurance
Professional Passport accreditation plus FCSA payslip verification gives you more than one independent check.
No cost to you
Verification through Diligence Hub will be free of charge for agencies and end clients.
Verification reduces risk; it does not transfer it. No tool or accreditation removes an agency's or end client's legal liability under the April 2026 rules. It gives you independent evidence that payroll is being run correctly.
Frequently asked questions
What is the FCSA?
The Freelancer and Contractor Services Association (FCSA) is a not-for-profit body for the UK contractor and umbrella sector. It runs independent accreditation for umbrella companies and provides compliance tools for the supply chain, including veriPAYE and Diligence Hub.
What is veriPAYE?
veriPAYE is the FCSA's payslip and payroll verification service. Each payment is checked against payroll integrity rules covering tax, deductions and minimum wage, and third parties see a clear Verified or Flagged status. It covers umbrella, CIS and PEO payments.
What is the FCSA Diligence Hub?
Diligence Hub is the FCSA's secure online platform for sharing due diligence between umbrella companies, recruitment agencies and end clients. Providers hold their compliance information once, in a standard format, and agencies view a verified, up-to-date record in one place.
When will veriPAYE verification be live?
As of 26 October 2026, our integration is in its final stages and we expect verification to be active within the next few weeks. We will update our website as soon as it goes live.
Is it free for agencies and end clients?
Yes. FCSA makes veriPAYE verification available free of charge to recruitment agencies. Once our integration is complete, agencies and end clients will be able to verify Kingsley Crest payslips through Diligence Hub at no cost.
Does veriPAYE remove an agency's joint and several liability?
No. No accreditation or verification tool removes the liability created by the April 2026 rules. What it does provide is early warning of problems and a dated evidence trail of the ongoing checks HMRC expects agencies to carry out.
Can agencies see workers' personal pay details?
No. Agencies and end clients see a verification status. Payment-level detail is protected, so workers' personal data stays private.
