Ethical Employment
Security is one of the sectors most targeted for worker exploitation.
What goes wrong in parts of the sector
Read moreShow less
- Cash-in-hand pay and sham self-employment used to avoid PAYE, National Insurance and pension contributions.
- Recruitment through messaging groups that puts unvetted officers on live sites, with no BS 7858 screening, SIA licence check or right-to-work check.
- Illegal deductions for SIA licences, uniform or training, withheld payslips and excessive hours.
- Extra pressure on overseas officers through threats about visa or immigration status.
Our commitments to every officer
- Paid at or above the National Minimum Wage on every shift, with no exceptions.
- 100% PAYE, traceable to our Real Time Information submissions to HMRC.
- No deductions from pay for SIA licences, uniform or training. Seccuro funds them.
- An independent whistleblowing route, so officers can raise concerns without losing shifts.
- An annual Modern Slavery Act statement.
No umbrella companies in our chain
From 6 April 2026, HMRC rules on umbrella companies make the business that supplies workers to an end client jointly and severally liable for any unpaid PAYE and National Insurance in the supply chain. HMRC can recover from either party.
Seccuro employs every officer directly. There is no umbrella company or other intermediary in our chain, so there is no exposure of that kind for our clients.
Evidence we provide on requestShow less
- Payslips for any officer, for any month
- Monthly P32 PAYE summaries sent to HMRC
- Real Time Information (RTI) submissions
- Bank statements showing payroll payments
- Our Modern Slavery Act statement
