What happens when you pay contractors without acompliant intermediary?
Misclassification risk
HMRC can reclassify contractors as employees, leaving you liable for back taxes, NIC penalties, and PE exposure. Possible cost per incident: £50,000.
Frozen bank transfers
Banks frequently block cross-border transfers to Africa, Southeast Asia, and the MENA region. Contractors go unpaid, and you lose days to compliance headaches.
No legal protection
Without a robust payment and compliance partner or local legal entity, you risk losing IP, enforceability of non-compete clauses, and compliance with local employment laws.
From risk to compliance in 3 steps:

Your brand. Your global team. Salary.io infrastructure.
Every touchpoint your contractors encounter reflects your brand—from the onboarding portal and benefits to payment notifications. They genuinely feel like members of your team, not users of a third-party platform.
