Payroll

If your business has employees, you need to make sure they get paid on time and in line with their terms and conditions. You’re also obliged to file a payroll return with HMRC. It’s a task that should run like clockwork but, of course, it doesn’t always work out that way. As a result, it can be time consuming and fraught, with knock-on effects for staff morale.

Through our outsourced payroll service for business, we can take care of the process from beginning to end. We’ll run your PAYE scheme, including pay calculations, managing deductions, processing of pensions contributions and the issuing of payslips. When queries do come up, we’ll deal directly with your team or with HMRC to resolve them as soon as possible.

Why is payroll complicated? The short answer is because the Government expects employers to administer various taxes and benefits through PAYE, from National Insurance to bike-to-work schemes. One member of staff might be making student loan repayments while another is paying child maintenance. Some might be in receipt of maternity pay while others are paid as apprentices. They might also work part-time, full-time, or on a casual basis. Juggling all of that requires immaculate record-keeping and attention to detail.

In terms of statutory responsibilities, we’ll make sure you’re meeting your duties around auto-enrolment workplace pensions and the minimum wage, flagging where there might be problems. If you work with freelancers and contractors, we can also advise on the off-payroll working rules (IR35).
