Terrible

Terrible. Was on a que system over a hour and 20 minutes with no one picking up even though the automated system said I was no1 in cue. I do not rate them as a payroll company I will be telling my agency I don't want them and I will get another payroll company in as its me paying them to get my wage and they don't answer the phone!

Absolutely shocking company

Absolutely shocking company. I have been trying to obtain Ppe for over 3 weeks and they are refusing to buy even though I am employed by them. I have used other umbrella companies and have never felt like I am being scammed until now workwell.

WorkWell Payroll company

One of, if not the best, I’ve worked with. Always happy to help and consistently goes above and beyond for both the workforce and ourselves. No issue is ever too big, and they demonstrate a great team ethic throughout.
Fee is also very low to support the work, not like other that are happy to rip the workers off.
