Great customer service

Great customer service - always very courteous and helpful! Hannah in particular was a delight to deal with.
It would be great if they could have a wider FAQ section.

Hi Imeh,

Thank you for your time on the phone earlier today. I'm really glad we were able to talk through the payments and give more context on the deductions relevant to yourself.

If there is anything at all that we can help with further, we'd be more than happy to help.

Incompetent. Avoid at all cost!

Incredibly Incompetent. I haven't received my payment in two weeks. Everytime I call Sapphire they put me on hold just to tell me they'll have to get back to me (which they don't). I've called them almost 10 times now and the same thing happens.

These people are demanding personal documents that they have no right to request, and they are withholding my wages. The matter has already been submitted to ACAS.

Reliable and trustworthy

Very pleased with the service at Sapphire. Friendly and responsive customer service and the team managed to process and bill my pay for the end of the week even though my timesheet was approved quite late. So far I have had a much better experience with Sapphire than the previous umbrella company I used. Thank you!
