SG Umbrella is FCSA accredited once again

The whole team here at SG Umbrella are so pleased and proud to announce the renewal of our FCSA accreditation.

How do you become an FCSA accredited?

In order to maintain our FCSA accreditation, we have to undertake an independent and rigorous assessment of all our business services, operations, policies and processes every single year. These are all examined to ensure we’re complying with the FCSA’s high compliance standards. You can view our accreditation here.

SG Umbrella’s Commercial Director,  Ciaran Woodcock comments

“I am delighted that SG Umbrella has successfully had our FCSA accreditation renewed for another year.  Our commitment to compliance is our competitive advantage and is the reason were trusted by so many agency partners. Being an FCSA member isn’t just a badge to us, its a demonstration that we work with the industry to help raise the standards of compliance for others to follow”.

What does having FCSA accreditation mean for us and our employees?

By having accreditation we’re sending our clients and recruitment businesses a clear message that we adhere to the highest standards set by the FCSA, and that we’re acting both professionally and ethically within the UK tax, employment, and regulatory laws. HMRC also receive a copy of the audit report, as we are required to prove our compliance annually. New for 2025 we’re also proud to announce that we’re SafeRec accredited, and that every single one of our employee’s payslips is audited by Payslip Buddy.

Compliance and transparency are top of our agenda when it comes to processing our employee’s pay. We do everything by the book, to ensure they receive every penny they’re owed, and to protect them from any future HMRC enquiries.

We’re incredibly proud of our ability to demonstrate the high standard of compliance within the professional employment sector, and strongly encourage all contractors to ensure they’re working with FCSA accredited providers only.
