How it connects

From the site gate to the payslip — one partner

Most software stops at the timesheet and leaves you to run payroll. With Genius, the hours your site manager approves are the hours we pay.

  1. 1
    Operative

    Arrives on site

    The app records arrival at the site boundary — no hardware, even with no signal.

  2. 2
    Operative

    Confirms the hours

    Hours proposed to the quarter hour, breaks applied the way the order says.

  3. 3
    Site manager

    Approves

    Every operative by day, site by site. Query a day with a note.

  4. 4
    Genius

    Pays & files

    CIS and PAYE deducted and filed. Payslip and pay text to every operative.

  5. 5
    You

    Get one invoice

    Built from exactly the hours you approved — one set of numbers.

How it works

Compliant in three steps

From first call to first payroll run in days, not months. You keep control of your workforce — we carry the risk and the admin.

01

Tell us about your workforce

A free business health check shows exactly where you stand with HMRC today.

02

We onboard your contractors

Digital onboarding with right-to-work checks, robust contracts between all parties and insurances in place.

03

You build. We handle the rest.

Weekly payroll, CIS submissions, HMRC correspondence and ongoing IR35 updates — all on us.

It’s not if HMRC investigates.
It’s when.

Every monthly CIS300 report tells HMRC who, where and when you’ve paid. With Genius, ties between you and your workforce are completely severed — any HMRC correspondence, tribunal or status enquiry is our responsibility.

First time using Genius — very friendly and reliable company, always helpful when in need and very fast at helping getting my rebate in process. Highly recommend.

They turned out to offer a great service at a great rate. They have also sourced me a number of jobs since then, and continue to do so to this day. I would highly recommend Genius to any self-employed tradesman!

Wouldn’t use anyone else for my tax & payroll after using Genius Money. Professional but with a personal approach. Have also helped put me onto new contracts which no other payroll company have done.

FAQs

Questions we get asked

What does Genius actually do?

We engage and pay the self-employed and PAYE operatives who work on your sites, carry the HMRC compliance responsibility for them, and give you the app and portal to see who is on site, approve their hours and find more people when you need them.

Do we need to buy clocking-in hardware?

No. Operatives sign in with the Workforce PRO app on their own iPhone or Android phone, using the site boundary. There is nothing to install on site.

How does the compliance guarantee work?

Your contractors are engaged through Genius, so the ties between you and them are severed. HMRC correspondence, status enquiries and employment tribunals about them become our responsibility — and our cost.

How quickly can we start?

A free business health check shows where you stand. Once your sites and operatives are set up, operatives are onboarded digitally on their phones and the first payroll can run the same week.

Can we still choose our own operatives?

Yes. You keep control of who works for you. We onboard and pay the people you already use, and can find vetted labour at short notice when you need more.
