The HR sector significantly outperforms the UK average in payment practices, suggesting a strong commitment to timely payments, which is somewhat ironic given their business (helping others get paid). However, the wide range of scores indicates substantial inconsistency across the sector: some firms are exemplary, while others lag far behind.
There's a fair amount of regional variation, with the South West leading the way at an average of 95.0 across seven companies. The North West also performs strongly, averaging 92.2 from eleven firms. It's worth noting that the "Unknown" region comes in third with 90.2. You can use this late payment calculator if you're consistently struggling with late payments.
The substantial difference between the best and worst payers (84.6 points separating ID Medical Group from PTS Group Limited) highlights the urgent need for improvement within the sector.
