The partnership will integrate Jarvis’ workplace pension into JA’s payroll technology, offering a flexible pension solution tailored to the needs of contractors.

With more than 50% of the global workforce projected to be self-employed by 2028, traditional workplace benefits like pensions are becoming less accessible. Umbrella companies face growing challenges in managing payroll and pensions for contractors, who often operate on varying pay cycles. Jarvis’ workplace pension is designed to accommodate these different payroll frequencies. By integrating Jarvis’ pension solution into JA’s payroll software, the partnership will simplify pension contributions and management for employers and contractors, saving valuable time and resources.

The partnership will also streamline pension management for umbrella companies, reducing administrative burdens and improving overall operational efficiency. Additionally, it will provide flexibility for employers and contractors by adapting to any payroll frequency, offering a level of convenience not widely available in the current pensions landscape.

Royden Greaves, CEO and Founder of Jarvis said: “We are dedicated to developing a pensions solution that reflects the realities of today’s workforce. Contractors often face difficulties with pension planning due to their irregular pay schedules. By partnering with JA, we are ensuring that umbrella companies can offer an enhanced pension solution that benefits both their business and the contractors they work with, simplifying pensions management and making it easier to plan for the future.”

Kilian Fitzsimmons-Wilson, CEO of JA said: “As the workforce continues to evolve, so must the solutions we provide. Partnering with Jarvis allows us to offer a more comprehensive and flexible approach to pension management for umbrella companies. By integrating Jarvis’ innovative pension solutions into our payroll technology, we are simplifying processes for employers and empowering contractors to plan for their financial futures with confidence. This collaboration is a significant step forward in addressing the unique challenges faced by contractors and enhancing their access to essential workplace benefits.”
