Payroll and CIS for construction employers
Construction employers usually run two things at once: PAYE for direct site staff and CIS for subcontractors, often weekly rather than monthly. The failure mode is not the calculation — it is the volume of verifications, deduction statements and monthly returns that has to be right every single period.

PAYE and CIS together
Direct employees and subcontractors handled in one place rather than reconciled between two systems.
Weekly pay runs
Site teams paid weekly, with RTI filed on or before each payday.
Auto-enrolment for site staff
Eligibility assessed every run, which is what variable hours on site actually require.
Statutory pay and student loans
Current rates applied automatically across all plan types.
Common questions
Do you handle both PAYE and CIS?
Yes. Direct employees run through PAYE and subcontractors through CIS, in one system, so the two do not have to be reconciled by hand each month.
Can site teams be paid weekly?
Yes, with RTI filed on or before each payday as HMRC requires.
For the crews themselves: Graft
Site crews and CIS subcontractors are paid per job and per week — exactly the income high-street banking misreads. Graft, from our technology family, is an account being built in public for gig and trade workers: a free Self Assessment estimator and a gig-native score tool are live today, and the full account — same-day earnings access, fee-free card — is on an open waitlist until the e-money partnership lands. Worth passing down the chain.
