KID Tool Brief: Pay Transparency & Compliance
Key Information Documents (KIDs) were introduced on 6th April 2020 as a legislative requirement to increase pay transparency for agency workers and provide essential information about their assignments. The brief was to develop a custom KID tool for recruitment agencies, enabling them to generate accurate KIDs for their workers efficiently.
The goal was to simplify the process for clients by creating a dynamic form that automatically populates a downloadable PDF, ready to share with workers. Given the many variables involved in completing the form, the tool required a robust dynamic JavaScript calculator to ensure accurate calculations and compliance with legislative requirements.
Technical Challenge: Dynamic KID Calculator & Secure Portal
The tool needed to provide secure portal access so individual recruiters could manage their own accounts and generate or retrieve Key Information Documents (KIDs) with strict user access management to maintain worker data privacy.
Behind the scenes, the calculations for the KIDs were complex, requiring a dynamic JavaScript calculator that could handle thresholds, allowances, and tax rules. At the same time, the interface had to remain intuitive and user-friendly to ensure high completion rates.
Our Solution: Custom KID Generator with Back-End & Portal Features
We built a custom Key Information Document (KID) tool with a dynamic JavaScript calculator capable of handling complex thresholds, allowances, and tax rules automatically. Each recruiter has secure portal access to their own account, ensuring user-level data privacy while enabling them to generate and retrieve KIDs easily. The platform is powered by custom database solutions and back-end administration functionality, allowing administrators to manage users, monitor calculations, and update compliance rules as legislation changes.
To maintain usability, the interface was designed to be intuitive and responsive, guiding recruiters through the KID process with minimal friction. The result is a robust, secure, and user-friendly compliance tool that streamlines workflows for recruitment agencies and supports both existing clients and lead generation.
