Hi Aimen,

You have reviewed the wrong Sapphire company as we are a payroll provider rather than a clothing brand.

The lady today was great and fast with her response to my question.
She seems a genuinely happy and bubbly person to converse with, even if it is not so good news, with a slight delay in payment.
But this has nothing to do with the lady answering the phone.

Just signed up and honestly the hoops to jump through to get paid for hours you have worked. My agency had done everything on their end. I have used various umbrellas in the past but they could all pay out same day. I was told I could when I signed up Sapphire and once signed up they told me it was Fridays. Even with advance request one person was telling me one thing and then someone else told me something different via email. Communication between departments was poor and it seems more about getting you signed up than actually providing a service once you had.

Hi Mark,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review.

Firstly, I'd like to apologise for the frustration and confusion you experienced during your onboarding process. We take all feedback seriously, and I appreciate both your patience while I investigated the issue and the time you spent speaking with me today.

Following our discussion, I can confirm that incorrect information was provided regarding the payroll cut-off time. Due to some recent internal process changes, there was a misunderstanding which resulted in inconsistent communication from our teams. I have raised this with the relevant departments to ensure the correct information is shared going forward and to help prevent a similar experience for others.

I'm pleased that we were able to discuss your concerns and reach a resolution together. We genuinely appreciate you giving us the opportunity to put things right, and we hope that your experience moving forward reflects the level of service we strive to provide to all of our workers.

Should you have any further questions or need any support, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Kind regards,
Hayley Sands

Sapphire are outstanding for small and owner-managed businesses. Deadlines are met early, the advice is clear and commercial, and they make certain everything we are properly entitled to is claimed and evidenced.

Special mention to Alex, my account manager, who is quite simply brilliant — proactive, responsive, and always a step ahead. I would recommend Sapphire to any small business without hesitation.
