We employ your workforce. You run your business.
As a Professional Employer Organisation, Kingsley Crest becomes the legal employer of your workers and handles the HR as well as the payroll.
What our PEO model is
Under our PEO service, Kingsley Crest is the legal employer of the workers. They have a contract of employment with us, we pay them through PAYE, and we look after the day-to-day HR. Your business directs the work and benefits from the workforce without carrying the employment administration.
What the HR service covers
Onboarding
Contracts of employment, right to work checks and setting each worker up on payroll.
Offboarding
Leavers, final pay and the paperwork that goes with them.
Holiday pay
Holiday entitlement and holiday pay managed correctly.
Sickness
Sickness absence and statutory sick pay.
Disputes and employment tribunals
Managing workplace disputes and supporting any employment tribunal claims involving the workers we employ.
General HR
Everyday HR questions and administration.
KC Rewards+ included as standard
Every worker employed through our PEO service gets KC Rewards+ at no extra charge: fuel savings, retailer discounts, gym and travel offers, 24/7 GP access, and mental health and wellbeing support.
How it differs from other models
| PEO | Payroll outsourcing | Umbrella | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Legal employer | Kingsley Crest | Your business | The umbrella company |
| HR administration | Kingsley Crest | Your business | Limited to the umbrella employment |
| KC Rewards+ | Included as standard | Not included | With Umbrella Platinum |
| Typical use | A workforce you want employed and managed for you | Staff you employ, payroll processed for you | Contractors on agency assignments |
Contracts and responsibilities
A PEO arrangement is set out in two sets of contracts: a services agreement between your business and Kingsley Crest, covering the services, fees and each party's responsibilities, and a contract of employment between Kingsley Crest and each worker. Fees are quoted for each client.
Who benefits
An agency is winning more temporary work than its back office can handle. Moving its temporary workforce into a PEO arrangement means the workers are employed and supported by Kingsley Crest, while the agency concentrates on clients and candidates.
A business needs a team for a fixed project and does not want to build HR capacity it will not need afterwards. Kingsley Crest employs the team and manages the HR for the length of the project.
