There’s no reason not to have it ready.
FlexyStaff costs nothing until the day you need it. Then it saves you the ring-round, the stress and the empty rota slot.
Use it only when you need it
One shift for a sick day, ten for a festival weekend, or none for three months. It’s up to you, every time.
Checked people you choose
Every worker’s ID and right to work are checked before they can apply. You see their profile, experience and availability, then pick who you want.
No paperwork for you
We employ the people you book, so there are no contracts to write and no payroll to run. Payroll, holiday pay and payslips are handled.
You set the pay
Choose the hourly rate (from £12.71, the minimum wage), and see the full price before you post. No surprises.
Your own pool of regulars
Found someone good? Book them again. Over time you build a pool of people who know your place and want to work for you.
Your staff member on call.
Most businesses don’t need extra people every week. They need someone good, on the days it matters. That’s exactly what FlexyStaff is for.
Someone calls in sickPost the shift from your phone and let local staff come to you, instead of ringing round.
A busy weekend or eventBook the extra hands for the hours you need, then you’re done. No one on the books for the quiet weeks.
Holidays and time offCover your team’s holidays without asking everyone else to stretch.
Seasonal peaksSummer, Christmas, race weeks and festivals. Scale up for the season and back down after it.
A new site or launchGet people in quickly while you recruit your permanent team.
Trying someone outBook someone for a shift or two before you think about taking anyone on.
Tip: register now, before you need anyone. Then on the day, you’re one post away from cover. Someone who hasn’t worked through FlexyStaff before needs a few working days to be set up for their first shift, and you’ll see the date to book them by on each applicant. People who’ve already worked a FlexyStaff shift can take shifts at any notice.
What you pay. In plain English.
Nothing at all until you book someone. Then, for each booking, just two things:
1
One price per hour worked
Their pay (you choose the rate), their employment costs (holiday pay, employer’s National Insurance and pension) and our FlexyStaff fee of £2.50 an hour. All in one hourly price.
2
£15 a week per person for payroll and admin
Once for each person, each Monday-to-Sunday week they work for you, however many shifts that is. It covers running their payroll: payslip, tax, National Insurance and pension. Book the same person three times in a week and you pay it once.
What you never pay: a joining fee, a monthly subscription, a contract, a finder’s fee or anything for weeks you don’t book. Card processing (3.5%) is shown at checkout.
Example: one 6-hour shift at £12.71 an hour
£120.48
£17.58 an hour, all in, + £15 for the week
6 hours at £17.58 an hour£105.48
Weekly payroll and admin£15.00
Another shift with them that weekno weekly fee
Card processing at checkout: £4.22. The hourly price can change slightly with the hours someone works for you in a week. You always see the exact price before you book.

Compared with the usual way.
Taking on more permanent staff, or ringing round when you’re short, both cost you time and money on the days you don’t need them.

Questions businesses ask.
Is it really free to register?
Yes. Registering, posting shifts, seeing applicants and chatting to them are all free. You only pay when you book someone, for that booking.
Am I tied into anything?
No. There’s no contract, no subscription and no minimum. Use FlexyStaff once, every week, or not at all for months.
What do I actually pay when I book?
One price per hour worked (their pay, employment costs and our £2.50 an hour fee), plus £15 a week per person for payroll and admin, once each week however many shifts they do for you. Card processing is shown at checkout. You see the exact total before you pay.
Who employs the staff?
We do. Danbro, our UK payroll partner, run payroll for UK shifts, and FlexyStaff Ltd runs payroll on the Isle of Man. Tax, National Insurance, holiday pay and payslips are all handled. The cost to you is the same either way.
How quickly can I get someone?
Post a shift and local staff can apply straight away. People who have already worked a FlexyStaff shift can take shifts at any notice. Someone new to FlexyStaff needs a few working days before their first shift, and each applicant shows the date to book them by. That’s why it pays to register before you need anyone.
What if the person isn’t right, or doesn’t turn up?
If a new worker’s first shift with you isn’t right, we refund our £2.50 an hour fee. If someone can’t make a shift, we help you find a replacement fast.
Can I cancel a shift?
Yes. Before you confirm, FlexyStaff shows you exactly what cancelling costs, if anything.
How long can shifts be?
Up to 12 hours a shift, and the same person can work up to 40 hours a week for you.
Do you cover the Isle of Man?
Yes, the whole Island, in exactly the same way: the same app, the same checks and the same prices.
