Compliance is Key

We are proud to be Saferec Certified, showing our commitment to worker welfare and fair play. Every payslip we produce goes through rigorous audit processes, to show that all deductions we make are correct, they are being paid to HMRC and the worker takes home exactly what they should.

Variety of Pay Models

We have a variety of pay models at your disposal, to truly find the best way to pay your workers and make sure they are maximising take home pay, in a legitimate manner each week. This benefits your workers and ensures no one is paid through the wrong model just because it suits us in the long run.

We Value our Clients

We value our clients and do not believe you should be passed around the houses or stuck in a long queue on hold. That is why we have dedicated account managers that look after you and your consultants, on a direct dial for instant access to information.

Right to Work Checks

Right to work checks are imperative for allowing your workers onto site and for getting them paid on time every week. Due to our in house compliance team, Rocket conduct RTW checks on every worker we pay and can advise on the legality of each worker.

Faster Payments Service

We make all payments using the Faster Payments Service, ensuring that all funds are released immediately and arrive in your workers accounts on time, before your workers wake up on a Friday morning. This eliminates, questions, complaints and no shows.

Flexible Fee Service

We do not believe in charging every worker a set fee, with no flexibility or movement. That’s why we have a flexible fee structure, that can differ for all agencies and include sliding scales where necessary, creating fairness for your workers.

Sarah Thorp

Operations Manager
An accomplished Operations Manager with years of organisation, project management and problem solving under her belt, Sarah looks after all of the business's projects, implementation and partnerships. Much like Rocket, she is super flexible due to her love for Yoga, presumably so she can easily reach for that much needed glass of red come weekend.
