infoAbout

Hiring your first employee shouldn't need a law degree.

FirstEmployer is a UK compliance platform that takes first-time employers — sole traders and micro-businesses — from "I want to hire someone" to fully compliant: employment status checks, HMRC PAYE registration, AI-generated employment contracts independently examined against statutory requirements, right-to-work checks, workplace pension setup, and a live dashboard that monitors every legal obligation. Plans from £9.99 a month with a 7-day free trial, no card required.

FirstEmployer was built for the plumber taking on an apprentice, the salon owner formalising a first hire, the café adding weekend staff — people with no HR department and no appetite for legal jargon. Four of our six modules are deterministic rules code; the two that use AI are independently examined before anything reaches you. Every statutory figure on this site comes from our live statutory configuration, and every document you generate is checked against the law before you see it.
