Security Providers: 4 Weeks to Prepare for the April 6 Labour Supply Liability Changes
The Compliance Gap in Traditional Rostering Systems
Security providers commonly use workforce management platforms, such as systems similar to #Timegate and other rostering tools. These systems are excellent at managing schedules, assignments and client billing.
However, most were not built to:
- Verify the identity of workers at deployment
- Check licences in real time
- Validate employment or payroll arrangements
- Maintain a verifiable audit trail across subcontracted labour
As a result, many providers rely heavily on assurances from subcontractors. But under these new rules, documented oversight becomes far more important.
“Most rostering systems manage shifts well, but they were never designed to provide workforce compliance oversight.”
Strengthening Oversight Without Replacing Existing Systems
This is where Arez can help. Security providers are already using Arez on top of their existing rostering platforms to strengthen workforce oversight ahead of the April deadline. Working alongside systems such as Timegate, Arez adds a compliance layer that helps companies build a clearer audit trail across deployed workforces.
Arez supports security providers with:
- Facial ID verification at deployment
- Real-time BS7858 vetting, SIA licence validation, right-to-work documents, and expiry tracking
- PAYE compliance checks
- Verified attendance linked to worker identity
- Audit-ready workforce records
Importantly, these capabilities can be implemented without replacing existing rostering systems, allowing companies to strengthen controls while continuing to use their established operational platforms.
Preparing Before April 6
With the 6 April deadline approaching quickly, security providers that rely on subcontracted labour should now be focusing on:
- reviewing labour supply arrangements
- strengthening workforce verification processes
- ensuring accurate records of deployments and identities
- improving visibility across subcontractor supply chains
Companies that cannot clearly demonstrate oversight of their workforce supply chain may find themselves exposed to unnecessary operational and compliance risk once the new rules take effect.
“Scheduling shifts is no longer enough. If your system can’t prove who was on site, you have a compliance gap.”
