FINAL CALL: Your Last Chance to Get JSL Ready Before the Rules Kick In
From April 2026, Joint and Several Liability becomes law. That means if your umbrella provider gets it wrong, your agency picks up the bill. No excuses. No grace period. It's happening.
This is your last opportunity to sit down with Chris Fahey, Founder of AGPayroll, before the regulations come into force — and get answers to the questions that matter to your business.
No panels. No formal presentations. Just a straight-talking, no-nonsense session where you can ask Chris anything about what's coming and how to make sure you're ready.
With over two decades in the recruitment payroll industry, Chris has been tracking this legislation from day one. He's read the draft, spoken to the regulators, and helped agencies across the UK prepare. If there's something you're unsure about, this is the time to ask.
What You Can Expect: ✔️ A plain-English update on where JSL legislation stands right now ✔️ What agencies need to have in place before April ✔️ How to make sure your umbrella provider won't leave you exposed ✔️ Your questions answered — honestly and directly
Who Should Attend? Agency owners, directors, and anyone responsible for compliance or payroll decisions. Whether you've attended our previous sessions or this is your first, this is the session that matters most — because after this, the rules are live.
The clock is ticking. Get your questions answered while you still can.

Joint and Several Liability: What Every Recruitment Leader Needs to Know
A Roundtable with the Industry's Leading Voices
April 2026 is coming faster than you think. Joint and Several Liability isn't just another regulatory change—it's a fundamental shift in how accountability works across the recruitment supply chain.
We've assembled an exceptional panel of industry leaders, legal experts, and compliance specialists who've spent decades navigating legislative changes. This isn't theoretical—it's practical, straight-talking insight from people who've seen it all before and know what's coming next.
Your Panel
Chris Fahey | Founder, AGPayroll
With over two decades at the coalface of recruitment payroll, Chris has built AGPayroll into a FCSA and SafeRec certified, compliance-first award-winning provider trusted by agencies across the UK. Known for translating complex legislation into plain English, Chris will chair the discussion and ensure you leave with actionable next steps.
Sebastian Sauca | CEO & Co-Founder, SafeRec
Sebastian leads the charge on transparency in the recruitment supply chain. SafeRec's AI-driven, real-time auditing helps agencies, end-hirers, and umbrella companies prove compliance weekly—not annually. When it comes to demonstrating due diligence under the new JSL rules, Sebastian's insights are invaluable.
Simon Bliss | Chairman, TEAM Network
As Chairman of a network representing 500+ small and medium recruitment businesses, Simon brings the voice of agency owners to the table. His decades of industry experience—and his own success story building a recruitment business—mean he understands exactly what's at stake for agencies like yours.
Julian Ball | Former Legal Director & FCSA Board Member
Few people understand the legal landscape of payroll compliance better than Julian. Having served as Legal Director for one of the UK's largest payroll companies and as a long-standing FCSA board member, Julian's opinion on legislative changes is consistently sought by industry leaders. When Julian speaks on compliance, people listen.
Steve Jones | Sales Director, Raise
With over 25 years across recruitment, payroll, and back-office solutions, Steve understands the practical, day-to-day challenges agencies face. At Raise, he helps growing recruitment businesses solve real problems—making him ideally placed to discuss how JSL will affect operations on the ground.
Paul Chamberlain | Partner & Head of Employment, JMW Solicitors
Paul brings over 30 years of employment law experience and nationally-recognised expertise in recruitment industry legislation. His associations with TEAM, REC, ALP, and FCSA mean he's been advising agencies on compliance challenges longer than most. From employment status to AWR to GLAA matters, Paul has seen every regulatory shift—and he's here to help you navigate this one.
Why You Should Attend
If you run a recruitment agency, this conversation could save your business.
From April 2026, if your umbrella company underpays PAYE, you could be liable. Due diligence alone may no longer protect you. The "purported umbrella" definitions are designed to catch arrangements you might not even realise are non-compliant.
This roundtable brings together legal, compliance, and operational expertise in one session. You'll hear:
✔️ What JSL actually means for your agency—beyond the headlines
✔️ How to protect yourself—practical steps, not just theory
✔️ What "due diligence" looks like under the new rules
✔️ Real-world scenarios and how to handle them
✔️ Your questions answered by experts who shape industry standards
Who Should Attend?
Recruitment agency owners and directors
Operations and compliance managers
Finance leaders responsible for payroll partnerships
Anyone managing umbrella relationships in their supply chain
The Bottom Line
The recruitment industry hasn't seen legislation this significant in decades. The good guys have nothing to fear—but only if they're prepared.
This roundtable isn't about scaremongering. It's about giving you the clarity, confidence, and connections you need to navigate April 2026 and beyond.
