We have partnered with tech firm Worksome to deliver a powerful SaaS solution, designed to transform how businesses manage their contingent workforce.
The all-in-one platform, ‘Parasol360 with Worksome’, provides a fully integrated solution for sourcing, onboarding, and paying contractors quickly, compliantly and efficiently.
The partnership addresses growing complexity in the labour market, driven by Off-payroll Working reforms, which evolved from IR35, changing employment rights, upcoming Umbrella legislation, and the accelerating shift toward flexible work models.
Against this backdrop, the need for agile, compliant systems has never been greater. According to Office of National Statistics (ONS), there were 4.34-million self-employed workers in the UK in 2024 – a 5.9% rise year-on-year – making robust and compliant systems critical.
Our Chief Operating Officer Steve Wortley said: “Teaming up with Worksome is more than just a product partnership launch – it’s a strategic collaboration. Businesses today face complex challenges around compliance, talent access, and operational efficiency. They need flexibility to adapt to the new ways of working, and future-proof their workforce.”
“Parasol360 with Worksome delivers exactly that – a scalable, future-ready SaaS platform that helps businesses adapt quickly and work smarter, all while remaining compliant with ever-changing legislation.”
This partnership combines our deep-rooted compliance knowledge and payroll expertise with Worksome’s intelligent automation and cutting-edge technology, enabling organisations to simplify workforce operations and stay confidently ahead of evolving employment regulations.
Key features include the ability to source and onboard pre-vetted talent, build private talent pools of all types of contingent talent (Agency Workers, Umbrella, CIS, Limited Company, Sole Trader and Interns), complete IR35 status determination statements – indemnified and insured – and ensure visibility of contractor payments, invoices and spend.
Morten Petersen, Co-founder and CEO at Worksome said: “Global companies continue to struggle with the complexity of UK compliance, especially when engaging limited company contractors. Regulations like IR35 and Umbrella Tax Liability shifts aren’t static, and the risk doesn’t go away after initial setup. Our partnership with Parasol helps address these ongoing challenges, giving clients the clarity and confidence they need to stay compliant and keep business moving.”
