Payroll and pension management
We’ll make sure your payroll and workplace pension is right, every time
One less thing to worry about
Payroll needs to be right. Your employees need to be paid accurately and on time, HMRC needs their submissions when they’re due, and pension contributions need to be handled properly.
Get it wrong and you’ve got unhappy staff, potential penalties from HMRC, and a headache you don’t need.
But payroll takes time. There’s legislation to keep up with, calculations to get right, and systems to manage. And it is only getting more complex. For most business owners, it’s admin that takes them away from actually running their business.
We’ll take it all off your hands. We’ll process your payroll accurately, meet all the deadlines, and handle all the compliance requirements. You can relax knowing your staff will be paid correctly and everything will be filed on time.
Our payroll and pension service
Our payroll service covers everything you need to pay your staff and stay compliant with HMRC. We’ll handle all the calculations, submissions, and paperwork, so you don’t have to.
- Processing payroll – we calculate pay, overtime, bonuses, and all deductions, including tax, National Insurance, pensions, and student loans.
- Payslips – provided through a secure online portal or as paper payslips, delivered on time every month.
- Real Time Information (RTI) submissions – we report
all payroll information to HMRC in real time as required. - PAYE payments and reporting – we calculate what you owe HMRC each month and handle all year-end reporting.
- Auto enrolment pensions – we assess eligibility, enrol employees, calculate contributions, and submit everything to your pension provider.
- Statutory payments – we calculate and process all statutory payments, such as sick pay and maternity/paternity pay, correctly.
- Managing changes – we handle all the admin around starters, leavers and changes to salaries.
- Year-end returns – P60s for all employees, P11D forms for benefits, and payrolling BIKS (Benefits in Kind)
- Reports and analysis – we provide clear reports on staff costs to help with budgeting and planning.
The benefits of outsourcing your payroll to us
You can do your payroll in-house, but for many business owners, it’s a complex area they would rather outsource, and here’s why;
- It saves time – what could you and your team be doing with your time?
- You won’t miss deadlines – HMRC deadlines are strict and relentless, and the penalties for missing any can be eye-watering
- You’ll avoid costly mistakes – wrong tax calculations, errors in holiday pay or missed statutory payments. These mistakes can be costly for your business.
- Your employees are paid correctly – no one notices payroll until it is wrong, and getting it wrong can be catastrophic for your employees.
- You stay compliant – there are over 200 laws and regulations around payroll. We make sure you are always compliant.
- No software to manage – no investing in payroll software, digital pay slips and the staff training to go with it.
- Lower risk: if you rely on a single team member, what happens when they are off or leave? We ensure a continuity of payroll service.
Auto-enrolment made simple
Every UK employer has to provide a workplace pension and automatically enrol eligible employees into it.
It’s called auto-enrolment, and it comes with its own set of rules and compliance requirements.
We’ll handle the whole thing for you:
- Assess all your employees to work out who needs to be enrolled
- Set up and manage the pension scheme (or work with your existing provider)
- Calculate employer and employee contributions each month
- Submit contribution information to the pension provider
- Handle opt-outs and refunds if employees choose not to participate
- Manage re-enrolment every three years as required by law
- Submit your declaration of compliance to The Pensions Regulator
- Auto-enrolment can feel overwhelming, especially for smaller businesses. We’ll make sure you meet all your legal obligations without the stress.
