Payroll Administration
Payroll errors damage employee trust and attract HMRC penalties. Our fully managed payroll administration service ensures every employee is paid correctly and on time, every statutory obligation is met, and your payroll data integrates seamlessly with your HR records.
Comprehensive Payroll, Fully Managed
We take complete ownership of your payroll function — from processing monthly or weekly pay runs through to year-end reporting and HMRC submissions. Our service is designed to remove the administrative burden, eliminate errors, and keep your business compliant with every statutory obligation.
Payroll Processing
We process your payroll on a weekly, fortnightly, or monthly basis — whichever suits your business. This includes calculating gross to net pay, applying tax codes, processing overtime, shift allowances, bonuses, and commission payments. Every pay run is checked and verified before funds are released.
Payslip Generation
Every employee receives a clear, itemised payslip detailing their gross pay, deductions, tax, National Insurance, pension contributions, and net pay. Payslips are distributed electronically or in print — and we handle all employee queries about their pay on your behalf.
PAYE & RTI Submissions
We manage all Real Time Information (RTI) submissions to HMRC, including Full Payment Submissions (FPS) and Employer Payment Summaries (EPS). We ensure your PAYE obligations are met accurately and on time, avoiding late filing penalties and interest charges.
Auto-Enrolment Pensions
We handle every aspect of your workplace pension obligations: assessing and enrolling eligible workers, managing opt-outs and opt-ins, calculating and submitting employer and employee contributions, and handling re-enrolment cycles. We work with all major pension providers including NEST, The People's Pension, and Smart Pension.
Payroll Reporting & Year-End
We provide regular management reports covering payroll costs, employer NI, pension liabilities, and departmental breakdowns. At year-end, we produce P60s for every employee, manage P11D submissions for benefits in kind, and handle all final HMRC reporting — so your financial year closes without complications.
Payroll Errors Cost More Than Money
Inaccurate payroll does not just trigger HMRC penalties — it directly erodes employee trust. When someone is paid late or incorrectly, the damage to the employment relationship is immediate and significant. Repeated errors drive increased turnover and make it harder to attract quality candidates.
UK payroll legislation is complex and changes frequently. Statutory Sick Pay (SSP), Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP), Statutory Paternity Pay (SPP), student loan deductions, pension auto-enrolment thresholds, and National Minimum Wage rates all require careful administration. Our team stays current with every legislative change so your business remains compliant.
- Guaranteed accuracy with multiple verification checks on every pay run
- Full HMRC compliance including RTI, PAYE, and auto-enrolment obligations
- Integrated HR and payroll data eliminating duplication and inconsistencies
- Dedicated payroll contact for all employee pay queries
Common Questions
How does the payroll handover work?
We manage the entire transition. We collect your existing payroll records, employee data, tax codes, pension details, and year-to-date figures. We then reconcile everything against your current provider before running a parallel pay cycle to verify accuracy. The typical handover takes two to four weeks and is timed to coincide with a natural pay period boundary.
What statutory requirements do you cover?
We cover all UK payroll statutory obligations: PAYE, National Insurance, Real Time Information (RTI) submissions, Statutory Sick Pay (SSP), Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP), Statutory Paternity Pay (SPP), Shared Parental Pay (ShPP), student loan deductions, attachment of earnings orders, workplace pension auto-enrolment, National Minimum Wage compliance, P60s, P45s, and P11D reporting.
How are payroll errors handled?
Our multi-stage verification process is designed to prevent errors before they occur. In the unlikely event that an error does happen, we take immediate corrective action: issuing supplementary payments the same day where possible, filing amended RTI submissions with HMRC, and communicating directly with the affected employee. We take full responsibility for any error on our part.
How is the service priced?
Our payroll service is priced on a per-employee, per-pay-period basis, giving you complete cost transparency. The fee covers processing, payslips, HMRC submissions, pension administration, and all standard reporting. There are no hidden charges for starters, leavers, or ad-hoc pay adjustments. We provide a clear quotation based on your headcount and pay frequency.
Can we switch payroll providers mid-year?
Yes, you can transfer your payroll to us at any point during the tax year. We collect all year-to-date data from your current provider, reconcile the figures, and ensure continuity. HMRC is notified of the change of payroll agent, and we take over all future submissions. The process is straightforward and we handle the administration on your behalf.
