HMRC recognised
The platform is formally recognised by HMRC for real time information (RTI) submissions, meaning every payroll filing is made through approved, compliant channels.
HMRC-Recognised. Cloud-Based. Built to Scale.
Every EOR provider in the Paycore network is powered by the same enterprise grade, HMRC recognised payroll platform. It is cloud based, fully automated, and built to process payroll at scale — from a single worker to thousands. With a mobile app for workers, a real time portal for clients, and AI-powered payroll processing, it is the technology backbone that makes the Paycore model work.
Why Technology Matters in an EOR Arrangement
An employer of record is only as good as the systems behind it. Payroll accuracy, HMRC compliance, pension submissions, and worker onboarding all depend on the technology platform doing its job flawlessly, every pay period, at scale.
Too many EOR providers rely on outdated, disconnected systems — spreadsheets patched together with manual processes, legacy software that cannot handle modern compliance requirements, and platforms that offer no visibility to clients or workers. The result is errors, delays, and a poor experience for everyone involved.
Paycore takes a different approach. Our entire EOR network runs on a single, purpose-built, cloud based payroll platform that is HMRC recognised and is certified to Cyber Essentials and meets GDPR standards. It was designed from the ground up for businesses that process payroll at volume, and it delivers the speed, accuracy, and transparency that modern EOR arrangements demand.

Key Features
Automated Self-Onboarding
Workers onboard themselves through the mobile app or web portal — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They enter their personal details, upload identity documents for identity and right to work verification, provide bank details, and complete their tax declarations. The system validates everything in real time, flags any issues instantly, and gets the worker payroll-ready without a single manual intervention.
- Workers can onboard outside office hours, on their phone, from anywhere
- Identity verification and right to work checks are integrated into the onboarding flow
- Data is validated automatically — reducing errors and rework
- Onboarding progress is visible to clients through the portal in real time
Real-Time HMRC Integration
The platform provides a fully integrated HMRC connection that automates real time information submissions every pay period, processes tax code updates (P6/P9 notices) automatically as they are received from HMRC, runs smart compliance checks before each submission to catch potential issues, and manages HMRC correspondence and queries directly through the system.
Client and Agency Portal
Clients get access to a dedicated portal: worker onboarding status and progress, employee and contractor data, timesheets and hours worked, invoices and credit notes, payroll summaries and cost breakdowns, document sharing and file exchange with the EOR provider. For recruitment agencies placing workers through the Paycore network, the portal gives full visibility across multiple placements, clients, and pay frequencies from a single dashboard.
The Paycore Worker App
Every worker employed through the Paycore network gets access to a dedicated mobile app, available on both iOS and Android. Payslips and tax documents (P60s, P45s), self-onboarding, schedule and updates, and personal details management — all from the app.
Import Mapping and Timesheet Automation
Whether your timesheets come from a third-party time-tracking system, a spreadsheet, or a bespoke format, the platform maps and imports the data automatically — removing the risk of human error and dramatically reducing processing time.
3-Step Payroll Dashboard
Import: timesheet and worker data is imported automatically via the mapping engine or entered directly. Generate and validate: the platform generates a draft payroll, runs automated compliance checks, and flags any issues for review. Confirm and pay: once validated, the payroll is confirmed, HMRC submissions are filed in real time, payslips are distributed, and bank files are generated for BACS payment. Payroll for one worker or one thousand — processed in minutes, not hours.

Security and Compliance
Payroll data is some of the most sensitive information a business handles. The platform is built with security at every layer: HMRC recognised for RTI submissions; our payroll platform is Cyber Essentials certified; GDPR compliant with encryption, access controls, and audit trails; hosted on AWS with Cloudflare protection; role-based access controls. Worker identity verification and right to work checks are built into the onboarding flow. Paycore's monthly AML and KYC compliance oversight of every EOR provider in the network is a separate governance function, ensuring each provider meets regulatory standards.
