What is PAYE? As a PAYE contractor, you are employed by Ovio and we contract your services to your recruitment agency or client who place you on assignments. PAYE is a simple, flexible way to get paid. You get PAYE tax and National Insurance (NIC) deducted at source and pay into an approved workplace pension. You are also entitled to statutory benefits including Statutory Sick Pay (SSP), and Maternity or Paternity Pay (SMP/SPP). Being employed by us means you don’t have to worry about anything, it also gives you continuity of employment, which is important if you want to apply for a mortgage or other type of finance. Learn More Do you help with IR35? Yes. Whilst IR35 mostly applies to limited company contractors, it’s often tangled in conversations about engagement models. We help you understand the impact, avoid misclassification, and use the right payroll model for every scenario. Can Ovio help with international payroll? Absolutely. We support workforce engagement in over 100 countries, handling local tax, compliance, and payment logistics so you can go global without the admin nightmare.
