Ensure Your Labour Supply Chain is Compliant & Secure
Stay ahead of evolving compliance requirements and protect your business from financial and reputational risks with the OPRaaS Self-Certification in Labour Supply Chain Assurance.
If your organisation engages Category A & B suppliers (e.g., agencies and umbrella companies), you are responsible for navigating complex legal, financial, and ethical obligations in relation to the temporary labour provided.
This practical, step-by-step course is designed to help UK professionals like you identify and mitigate these risks, ensuring a compliant, ethical, and transparent labour supply chain.
Failure to assure your supply chain can lead to:
Financial Penalties – Non-compliance with PAYE, CIS, and VAT regulations can result in HMRC fines and audits
Reputational Damage – Allegations of modern slavery, worker exploitation, or unethical practices can severely harm your brand.
Criminal Liability – Under the Criminal Finances Act 2017, companies can be prosecuted for failing to prevent tax evasion
Operational Disruptions – Poor supplier oversight can result in legal battles, workforce instability, and business losses.
“Under increased scrutiny from HMRC and regulatory bodies, businesses which rely on temporary workers or contingent suppliers, need to make sure they employ compliant and ethical workforce practices and payroll.
The OPRaaS Self-Certification in Labour Supply Chain Assurance equips you, as professionals, with the knowledge and tools to audit, verify, and secure your company's labour supply chain.”
