If you use subcontractors, agency workers, or temporary labour:

• Self employed status compliance
• Incorrect CIS deductions
• Verification errors
• Late or incorrect returns
• Mis-posted liabilities
• Cashflow surprises

These aren’t “admin problems” — they’re governance and financial control issues.

That’s where Harbour comes in.

I’ve spent years running and fixing contractor and temporary labour payrolls — where HMRC scrutiny is higher, margins are tighter, and mistakes get expensive fast.

That experience now underpins how Harbour supports all clients.

If your payroll involves subcontractors, CIS, or fluctuating labour costs, you need more than a processor — you need someone who understands how payroll & CIS flows through:

• HMRC accounts
• Your balance sheet
• Your cashflow

• CIS registration and subcontractor verification
• Weekly / fortnightly contractor payroll
• Accurate CIS deductions and monthly returns
• Correct posting of PAYE, CIS and NIC liabilities
• Alignment with Xero (or your accounts system)
• Ongoing compliance monitoring and clean-up

Not just – “Submitted” – but reconciled, understood and controlled.

Contractor workforce support isn’t a bolt-on service.

It sits inside Harbour’s Managed Payroll model — where payroll is treated as a financial control system, not just a process.

That means:

• Clean HMRC accounts
• Clear liabilities
• Fewer surprises
• Better cashflow visibility

• Construction and trades
• Facilities management
• Engineering and maintenance
• Logistics and labour-heavy SMEs
• Any business using subcontractors or temporary labour
