Regulations and Compliance

Explore various operating models and classifications based on employment regulations and tax considerations. Our model classifies workers as full-time, part-time, Expats, or umbrella employees. Each one is regarded as a functional director under OPD’s PAYE system, receiving payroll and dividends based on performance. This guarantees clear roles, proper tax handling, and compliance for everyone involved.

Employee classification models

At OPD, compliance is central to our operations. We follow all relevant laws and uphold ethical standards across our services. Operating in both UK and international markets, we ensure clients and employees remain compliant with employment, tax, and data regulations. This page outlines our compliance priorities and how we classify employees under our unique model.
