Payroll your consultants never have to chase.
We become the employer behind your placements, so your desks can get on with filling roles. Contractors paid every Friday. Every deduction itemised, and a published margin of £18 weekly, £72 four-weekly or £78 monthly, so there is nothing for anyone to query and nobody ringing your consultants about their payslip. Run us with two or three workers before you commit anyone to your PSL.
The payroll works the same in any sector, so talk to us anyway.
Why RGM Pay exists
Based in West Yorkshire, working UK-wide.
RGM Pay is a new umbrella company, started because we think this corner of the industry has drifted.
Contractors get a payslip they can't follow. Agencies get a margin quoted on request rather than published, so comparing two providers means asking both and hoping the answers are complete. Nobody sets out to make it confusing, but the effect is the same: the person doing the work is the last to understand what happened to their money.
We are trying to build the opposite, and the test we hold ourselves to is whether someone can check us without having to ask. One published margin for each pay frequency, on this website, before anyone gets in touch. Every deduction itemised, with nothing bundled into an unexplained admin line. A payday you can plan around and a cut-off we state rather than leave unsaid. Where we are not yet accredited, we say so plainly instead of implying otherwise.
The other half is being straightforward to deal with. An agency shouldn't have to chase us, and a contractor shouldn't have to ring their consultant about a payslip. Most of what we do is unglamorous: getting the numbers right, on time, every week. We would rather be judged on that than on a promise.

Who you're dealing with
A new provider with nobody's name on it is the profile agencies have been warned about. So here's ours: based in West Yorkshire, working UK-wide.
I'm an accountant with experience in both tax and management accounting since 2018. When the IR35 reforms landed I set up and ran the umbrella department at the firm I was with: payroll, timesheets, PAYE submissions and the contractor questions that come with them. RGM Pay is the second umbrella I have built. This one is mine, which is why the margin is published rather than quoted.
Reach me directly at info@rgmpay.co.uk. During a trial you deal with me, not a ticket queue.
Built for the PSL, not around it
We're a new name. Here's what we put in front of PSL managers instead of a track record.
Open-book margin
You and your contractors see the same weekly breakdown we do. If a number changes, you'll know why before it happens, not after.
Compliance-first from week one
We built RGM Pay around the joint & several liability rules rather than retrofitting after they landed. Every provider on your PSL now has to answer for this; we were designed for it.
Trial before you commit
Run us alongside your current provider with two or three contractors. Judge the payslips, the response times and the paperwork yourself.
Published, not quoted.
One figure per pay frequency, fixed for the length of the assignment. Contractors: use the take-home calculator.
* The margin leaves the assignment rate before a gross wage exists, so it reduces the pay that tax and National Insurance are charged on and costs less than the headline figure. Shown for a basic-rate taxpayer opted out of the workplace pension — £583.44 a year whichever frequency. Staying in the pension or paying higher-rate tax changes it, and this is true of every compliant umbrella margin, not only ours. The take-home calculator shows the figure for any rate.
Three frequencies. Three published numbers.
Most umbrella margins sit between £20 and £30 a week, and plenty of them are quoted as a starting figure that moves once the contractor has signed. Ours are fixed and published: £18 weekly, £72 four-weekly, £78 monthly. All £936 a year, so how often someone is paid never changes what it costs them.
The margin comes out of the assignment rate, which means it is the contractor who carries it, not your agency. That is precisely why we publish it. A worker who can see the figure before they start has nothing to query afterwards, and a consultant who can quote it from memory never has to promise to find out. Volume rates are available for PSL partners. Ask on the call.
What is fixed, whoever you are
- Same margin whether the assignment runs four weeks or four years
- Full payslip breakdown available to both the contractor and the agency
- No setup fee, no PSL joining fee, no exit fee on the trial period
- Statutory deductions itemised in full, never bundled into an admin line
- Contractors paid every Friday, against a stated cut-off rather than best efforts
