Modern Slavery Policy

StratexPS is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our business operations. We recognise our responsibility to uphold the highest ethical standards and ensure that our activities, supply chains, and business relationships are free from exploitation.

This policy outlines the steps we take to identify, prevent, and address modern slavery in accordance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015.

1. Our Business

StratexPS provides payroll, compliance, and workforce management services within the UK logistics sector. Our work involves collaborating with clients, contractors, suppliers, and third-party service providers.

As a service-based organisation, our supply chain primarily includes:

  • Payroll software and technology providers
  • Office suppliers and business support services
  • Professional advisers and compliance partners

We remain vigilant in ensuring that modern slavery does not exist within any part of our operations or those of our partners.

2. Our Commitment

StratexPS is firmly committed to:

  • Maintaining a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery
  • Acting ethically and responsibly in all business activities
  • Ensuring our suppliers and partners uphold the same standards
  • Promoting transparency within our business and supply chain
  • Complying fully with the Modern Slavery Act 2015

3. Our Approach to Preventing Modern Slavery

Due Diligence

We conduct proportionate checks when working with new suppliers, contractors, and partners to ensure they:

  • Comply with UK employment laws
  • Pay staff fairly and legally
  • Maintain safe working conditions
  • Have policies addressing modern slavery and human trafficking

Supplier Standards

All suppliers and service providers must confirm that:

  • Forced labour, bonded labour, and human trafficking are strictly prohibited
  • All workers are free to leave employment and have control over their personal documents
  • No worker is subjected to threats, intimidation, or exploitation
  • Wages, working hours, and conditions meet legal requirements

We reserve the right to terminate relationships with any partner that fails to meet these standards.

4. Employment Practices

StratexPS ensures:

  • All employees have the legal right to work in the UK
  • Employment is entered into voluntarily
  • Staff are paid fairly and in line with UK legislation
  • Working hours comply with the Working Time Regulations
  • No employee is subject to debt bondage, withholding of wages, or exploitation

Identification checks, right-to-work documentation, and payroll processes are monitored to ensure compliance.

5. Training and Awareness

We provide training to relevant staff to help them:

  • Identify signs of modern slavery
  • Understand reporting procedures
  • Recognise their role in preventing exploitation
  • Maintain ethical practices when engaging suppliers and contractors

We also distribute guidance to ensure employees understand their responsibilities.

6. Reporting Concerns

StratexPS encourages anyone—employees, contractors, clients, or partners—to report concerns about modern slavery or unethical practices.

Reports can be made confidentially to:

7. Monitoring and Review

We regularly review:

  • Our supply chain
  • Risk assessments
  • Training effectiveness
  • Compliance with employment and labour regulations

This policy is reviewed annually and updated when necessary to reflect changes in legislation or business operations.
