Eden Hybrid – A Winner All Round

Eden’s Hybrid claims that it will maximise a temporary workers take-home pay whilst also saving your business money and that’s guaranteed!  We put that theory to the test.

After spending many years running a back office for a large recruitment company, the founders of Eden set up in 2002 to offer services dedicated to the recruitment industry. The company has amongst other professional services established an Umbrella Company which provides both a tax-efficient vehicle for contractors and temporary Workers.

Eden’s Hybrid is a unique product which guarantees substantial savings to any agency by running PAYE and umbrella calculations in unison. Hybrid offers a fully compliant umbrella service to an existing PAYE payroll which allows temporary workers to offset their work related expenses. This means that each temporary worker is guaranteed to be no worse off than under normal PAYE and in some cases it may increase their take-home pay considerably.

It is not just the temporary workers who can be better off using Hybrid.  Recruitment companies are able to save on the administration costs of running their own PAYE payroll and they also enjoy savings in reduced liability and the cost of insurance.

Eden are so confident that their solution will benefit your business that they offer the Hybrid Guarantee:

  • To increase your workers take-home pay by at least £1 per payroll compared to PAYE
  • Substantial savings for your agency in comparison to paying Employers NI

To ensure this they will in certain circumstances, go as far as forfeiting their own processing fees. One agency that has decided to switch to Hybrid is COS Recruitment; the company’s Managing Director, Olivia Ryder explains how well the decision has turned out.

“We were already using the services of Eden’s sister company and the new Hybrid scheme looked like a tremendous idea for our business. The move to the new system was so, so easy. The transition was extremely smooth and to this day there is always support on hand should it be required. We have a dedicated account holder who is always available and who rings back when arranged!”

“For us it’s also complete peace of mind. We don’t have temps complaining; in fact we have some temps we know who would rather work through us because of how well the Hybrid works for them.  We haven’t lost contact with any of our temps and because they can claim dispensation for their expenses it’s another reason for them to come back to us and also recommend colleagues to do the same.”

The major benefit for us is that it takes away a huge amount of administration for the office. Eden personally deals with all the queries and their service really does enhance our reputation leaving us to get on with doing what we do best, recruitment.” Olivia said.

Eden’s services do not stop there. The company views all compliance matters as being extremely important which is another strength not lost on Olivia. “The Agency Workers regulations have been a big issue for our sector. With Eden’s expertise we have been kept completely informed and at the forefront of any necessary change, I would gladly recommend them to any one.” She said.
