Payroll Management

Payroll that runs on time for teams of any size, with RTI submissions, pension duties and statutory pay handled for you.

The short version

What this actually means

Payroll is the one thing in a business that absolutely cannot be late. People plan their lives around it, and HMRC penalises errors on a schedule that is not sympathetic.

It is also more involved than it looks. Every pay run needs a Real Time Information submission to HMRC on or before the payment date, auto-enrolment duties have to be assessed for each employee each period, and statutory pay for sickness, maternity and paternity has its own rules.

We run it for you. You send us the changes — hours, starters, leavers, bonuses — and we handle the calculation, the submission, the payslips and the pension file.

Included

What you get

  • Weekly, fortnightly, four-weekly or monthly pay runs, whichever suits you
  • Real Time Information submissions to HMRC on or before each pay date
  • Payslips distributed securely to your employees
  • Auto-enrolment assessment and pension submissions — NEST, The People’s Pension, Smart Pension and others
  • Starters, leavers and P45s handled
  • Statutory sick, maternity, paternity and adoption pay calculated correctly
  • Year-end returns and P60s
  • P11D benefits-in-kind reporting where you provide company cars or other benefits
  • Employment Allowance and Apprenticeship Levy handled where they apply

Right fit?

Who this is for

  • Employers of any size — from a single director on the payroll to teams of fifty or more
  • Businesses hiring their first employee, where PAYE registration and pension duties are new territory
  • Companies with variable hours, where every period needs recalculating from scratch
  • Anyone whose payroll currently depends on one person and their spreadsheet — a genuine business risk when they are on holiday or ill

Questions

Common questions

What do you need from me each period?
Just the changes: hours worked for variable staff, any new starters or leavers, and any bonuses or adjustments. If nothing has changed, tell us that and the run happens automatically.
Do you handle workplace pensions?
Yes — assessment, enrolment, contribution calculations and the submission to your pension provider each period. If you have not yet set up a scheme we can help you choose and register one.
Can you take over mid-year?
Yes. We take on the year-to-date figures from your current system so the P60s at year end are still correct. It is a common time to switch, and nothing is lost.
What if we get a payroll deadline wrong?
Late RTI submissions attract automatic penalties that increase with the size of your payroll and how often it happens. That is precisely what outsourcing removes — the deadline becomes our responsibility to track, not yours.
