Payroll Services

Paying employees is among the most vital tasks any business must perform, yet payroll processing is increasingly difficult and onerous and getting it wrong is all too easy, especially with the changes regarding Real Time Information (RTI) requiring that PAYE information is sent to HMRC on or before the date each employee is paid and the Auto-Enrolment requirements of the workplace pension reforms.

We are focused on client delivery. We aim to fit our service around your existing systems.

We use reliable and powerful HMRC approved software to ensure that your payroll is compliant with HMRC legislation and also ensure we can meet your requirements such as Real Time Information and Auto-Enrolment for pensions.

Our payroll service includes:

• Weekly, fortnightly or monthly payroll processing

• RTI submissions

• CIS (Contractors) Service – preparing and submitting monthly CIS returns

• Completion of year-end P60’s and statutory returns

• BACS payments

• Sealed or e-mailed payslips

• Ensuring the correct deductions are processed for staff on maternity leave, student loans and sick pay

• Keeping and storing of PAYE records to meet statutory regulations

A seamless operation ensures HMRC always has the information it needs and that employees are paid correctly and on time – every time.

​

How it works:

• Each pay period, you send us the data required to calculate the wages and salaries

• You report the hours worked by your employees plus any changes to the payroll such as deductions, pay increases, new staff etc.

• We do the rest. We calculate net wages and salaries, taxes, NI and pension contributions as well as any other types of deductions you specify

• We aim to process your payroll within 2 days of receiving the data

• Reports will be sent in electronic and/or hard copy format together with sealed payslips

• Payroll can be processed to meet your individual needs, including processing on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis

​

The workplace pension reforms have been phased in. These legislative changes will have a significant impact and make it a legal requirement for all employers, of all sizes, to automatically enrol their employees into a workplace pension scheme.

Whilst the effect on pensions and cash flow will probably have been considered by many employers, the operational impact of the legal obligations, particularly with regards to payroll procedures and communication processes, has almost been overlooked.

We can help you.

Whether you need a guiding hand and advice in layman’s terms, someone to set up the administrative process  for you to maintain or someone to take over the entire function, we can do as much or as little as you want.
