Sapphire Payroll Transparency Portal Q&A: evidence you can access quickly

When a client, auditor or compliance review asks for proof, you do not have time to chase documents across emails, spreadsheets and month-end packs. 

The Sapphire Payroll Transparency Portal gives recruitment agencies a secure, read-only view of key payroll evidence in one place, with independent reporting and a clear, downloadable audit trail. It is designed to reduce admin, remove back-and-forth, and support you ahead of April 2026.

What is the Sapphire Payroll Transparency Portal?

It is a secure, read-only portal for agencies and MSPs that brings together key payroll evidence and reporting in one place. It provides independent reporting and a downloadable audit trail to support due diligence.

Who is it for?

The portal is built for agencies and MSPs that need fast access to verifiable payroll records, whether for client queries, audits, internal governance, or compliance reviews.

What problem does the portal solve?

It removes the need to chase for evidence, reduces month-end back and forth, and makes it easier to respond quickly when someone asks for proof of what has been reported to HMRC and what has been paid.

What can you see in the portal?

You can access the evidence trail agencies and MSPs typically need, including:

• P32 liabilities as a monthly PAYE and NIC summary, covering the workers you engage through us
  
• RTI confirmation with submission evidence and HMRC confirmation
  
• HMRC payments showing proof of cleared PAYE payment
  
• Payslips to view and download by tax month
  
• Audit trail records that are downloadable and time-stamped for due diligence

How does it help with supply chain due diligence?

The JSL rules increase supply-chain risk for agencies and MSPs, making documented due diligence and audit trails important to mitigate potential recovery of tax by HMRC. The portal supports that by giving you a consistent, time-stamped record you can download and file.

Is the portal editable?

No. It is a read-only portal, designed to provide secure access to evidence and reduce the risk that records are altered or misfiled.
