CIS, site rosters, sub-contractor chains, CSCS/CPCS/OSHA tracking, GPS-verified clock-ins, photo enforcement, escrow-protected payments, urgent fill and lone worker safety. Payrovia Payroll + Flex were built for the realities of the back of the van and the 6am WhatsApp group.
Every subcontractor payment needs correct verification, deduction and HMRC-ready vouchers. Get it wrong and you’re personally liable. Most payroll systems treat it as an afterthought.
Agency, self-employed, CIS, direct. Multiple rates, multiple chains of responsibility. One missed certification and the whole site can be shut down.
GPS must actually mean something. Photo verification against hard-hat policy. Kiosk mode for shared devices on the gate. Offline resilience when the site has no signal.
Workers want money the day after the shift. Main contractors want protection until timesheets are approved. Escrow that actually works is table stakes.
31 types (CSCS, CPCS, IPAF, OSHA, etc.). Expiry dates tracked. Worker cannot clock in or start a shift if any required ticket is expired. Full history for every audit.
Worker must be inside the job site boundary. Photo taken at clock-in with hard-hat policy check. Offline mode that syncs when signal returns. Kiosk support for shared devices.
Funds held when worker is assigned. Released only when timesheet is approved by the right person. Row-level locks. Full dispute workflow. Workers can request instant payout on approved hours.
Broadcast an urgent shift to every qualified, available, in-radius, correctly certified worker on the platform. Response rates that make traditional agencies look slow.
Workers can swap shifts with qualified colleagues. If someone drops out, the system finds and offers replacement within minutes, not days.
See every worker on site, which agency or CIS company they belong to, their rate, their certification status, and their actual hours — in one view.
Can you handle complex CIS chains with multiple tiers of subcontractors?
Yes. We model the full payment chain, verify CIS status at every level, deduct correctly and produce the exact vouchers each party needs for their own CIS returns.
What happens when a worker has expired tickets?
They are blocked from clocking in or being offered shifts until the required certifications are updated and verified. The gate literally will not open.
Do your GPS clock-ins actually stand up in disputes?
Yes. We store the exact location, distance from geofence centre, timestamp, and photo with cryptographic hash. This has already been used successfully in multiple tribunal and insurance cases.
How do you support both CIS workers and PAYE employees on the same site?
Seamlessly. The same shift can have workers paid under completely different tax treatments. Everything flows into the correct payroll or CIS line automatically.
Can agencies and main contractors both see what they need without seeing each other’s commercial terms?
Yes. Role-based views and strict data partitioning. Agencies see their workers and margins. Main contractors see attendance, compliance and cost. Neither sees the other’s rates.
We’ll build a clear picture of your current CIS exposure, certification gaps, fill rates and cash tied up in disputes — using real UK construction data — before any sales conversation.
