Payroll & pensions

Accurate, on-time payroll for your team, including RTI, payslips, auto-enrolment and year-end returns.

Your team paid properly, every time

Payroll is one of the few jobs in a business where "nearly right" is not good enough. People notice when a payslip is late or a deduction looks wrong, and the tax office notices too.

We run payroll for small and growing teams on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis. The figures go through the payroll software, the submissions go to HMRC, the payslips go to your people and the pension contributions go where they should. You get a short summary rather than a spreadsheet to decipher.

Who it helps

  • Small employers who have just taken on their first employee and want the setup done correctly.
  • Growing teams with starters, leavers, changes in hours and the occasional query about holiday pay.
  • Businesses with several pay frequencies where the weekly staff and the monthly directors need one consistent process.
  • Directors who want a payroll that agrees with the company accounts and their own tax return.

What is included

  • Payroll processing weekly, fortnightly or monthly, including starters and leavers.
  • Real Time Information submissions to HMRC on or before each payday.
  • Payslips delivered to your people, with the deductions explained.
  • Auto-enrolment assessments, contributions and the routine communications that go with them.
  • P11Ds and benefits reporting where directors or employees receive benefits in kind.
  • Year-end payroll returns including P60s and the final submissions to HMRC.
  • A named person to ask when a payroll question comes up between paydays.

How it works

  1. We set the payroll up. Employee details, pension arrangements, pay frequencies and the way hours or overtime reach us.
  2. You send the changes by an agreed date. New starters, leavers, overtime, sick pay and anything unusual - one short message is enough.
  3. We run it and check it. The payroll is processed, the figures are reviewed and the submissions go out.
  4. You get the summary. What the payroll cost, what HMRC will collect and anything that needs a decision before next month.

A question we hear often

  • I only have one employee. Is payroll worth outsourcing? It often is, because the time goes on getting the rules right rather than on the size of the team. It also means somebody else notices the deadline.
  • Can you take over from another payroll provider? Yes. We will collect the history, check the year-to-date figures and take over at the start of a pay period.
  • Do you provide pension advice? We handle the payroll side of auto-enrolment and work with your pension provider. We do not give regulated investment advice, and we will say so if a question needs somebody who does.
