Went above to help me out !!!
I went to a job with net temps agency, i drove 7 hours , started at 1700hrs and finished at 0230hrs. I couldnt continue the job unfortunately due to accommodation issues and i tried to sleep in my car without sucess.
My 8 hours i was due to be paid on friday was paid to me early so i could work somewhere else . The lovely woman who helped me out after her shift was over stayed behind to make sure i was paid early and could start my new job.
She went well above and beyond for me and she literally couldnt have done any more for me.
100/100 service. Thank you again team .

Great umbrella company
I’ve been using Sapphire as my umbrella company as a contractor and have been really impressed with the service.
The whole process has been straightforward from the start, and their team have always been helpful and quick to respond whenever I’ve had a question.
Payments have been reliable and everything is clearly explained, which takes away a lot of the usual hassle that can come with contracting. I also appreciate having a team I can actually speak to when I need support rather than being passed around different departments.
Overall, Sapphire has made the admin side of contracting really easy for me. I’d definitely recommend them to other contractors looking for a reliable umbrella company.

Extremely Disappointing Experience
Extremely Disappointing Experience
This has been an absolute nightmare from start to finish.
I emailed the company with important information that needed to be updated on my payslip. I was then told by customer service, “Well noted, the changes have been sent to the payroll team.” Naturally, I trusted that this had been dealt with.
Instead, I spent hours chasing the company to get my payslip corrected, only to be told that customer service could not even find my original email. I was then left in the ridiculous position of having to prove that I had actually sent the email, despite the fact that the same customer service team had already acknowledged it and confirmed that the changes had been passed to payroll.
To make matters worse, the WhatsApp contact number is essentially a bot, so there is no meaningful human support when you actually need help. When something as important as your payslip is involved, this level of communication and accountability is simply unacceptable.
What exactly am I paying for? I expected a professional service, proper communication, and for information I provided to be acted upon. Instead, I was left chasing different departments and wasting hours trying to resolve an issue that should never have happened in the first place.
This experience has completely destroyed my confidence in the company. I would never recommend them to anyone, even if they offered a £1,000 incentive to do so. The amount of stress, wasted time and frustration I have experienced is simply not worth it.
An extremely poor service and, frankly, an absolute nightmare. I would strongly advise others to think twice before using this company.

Happy with the company
I have been working at a school through an agency for over 2 years, receiving my payments through Sapphire. I am happy with the company because they have always paid me on time and resolved my payment issues. They have also recently reached out to inform me that I am going to receive a bonus for being with them long-term, which I am grateful for.
