WE ARE YOUR EXPERTS

Payroll services are designed to take the hassle of managing payroll off your hands. It is a way of outsourcing the payroll tasks and payroll management to a third party who are experts in that area.

There are two main types of payroll services: fully managed payroll services and partially managed payroll services. The type that works best for you will depend on why you are looking into payroll outsourcing and what you need it to bring to your business.

Fully managed payroll services

A fully managed payroll service means that we will have full responsibility for all your payroll requirements and responsibilities off your shoulders. All you need to do is provide us with access to your business and employee data and we will take it from there.

Using top of the range payroll software, your fully managed payroll will be accessible to you whenever you want and it will allow us to access all of the daily data that needs to go into your payroll.

Our leading payroll solution will provide all of the services you need for your payroll and you will be connected with a dedicated account manager who you can contact whenever you need help and advice.

We are specialists in accounting and payroll and we understand the importance of payroll to business growth. With our payroll outsourcing services, you will know that all of your payroll needs are being met professionally and accurately.

We will cover all aspects of payroll services, including:

• Keeping accurate and up-to-date payroll records
• Calculating employee pay for the pay period
• Transferring money into employees' accounts
• Calculating and withholding tax and NI deductions
• Calculating and paying benefits and overtime
• Calculating and paying sick pay, holiday pay, and maternity/paternity pay
• Managing and withholding other deductions such as pensions auto-enrolment
• Filing and paying taxes with HMRC

Fully managed payroll means that you can be sure that every aspect of your payroll will be managed by our personal service. Many businesses opt for this service so that they can focus all of their attention on their other business needs.

It is a more expensive service than the partially managed payroll, but with that extra cost, you can be confident that all of your payroll and related services will be covered by qualified professionals who will uphold them to the highest standard.

Partially managed payroll services

With this type of payroll service, the responsibility of the day-to-day admin of your payroll will remain with you. So you will need to create and manage payroll records, input timesheets, and distribute payments to your employees.

The more complicated side of payroll, however, will be covered by our payroll services. These are often the areas that non-experts find the most time-consuming to deal with and their complexity means that it is easy to make a mistake, which could be costly.

Partially managed payroll services provide bespoke solutions for your business. You can pick and choose which aspects of running payroll you are happy to do yourself and which aspects you would like outsourced. Regardless of the package you choose, the service provided will always be of the highest standard.

Outsourcing your payroll to at least some extent means that you can have experts to navigate complex tax and government regulations, so you can save time and be certain that your UK payroll is in line with the rules.

Using top-of-the-line payroll software, you can have direct access to your payroll at any time and a complete view of everything that it contains. You can use it to communicate and share data with us so that everyone is on the same page.

Your dedicated account manager and our excellent customer service mean that there will always be someone on the other end of the phone to help you with questions or advice.

We have touched on some of the many benefits of payroll outsourcing already, but let's drill down and take a closer look at some of the top reasons why a payroll service is a perfect solution for any small business.

Streamlining

Ensuring business growth can often depend on streamlining. Streamlining can boost productivity, can be more cost-efficient, can minimise risk, and can result in far better time management.

If, as a small business, you don't have a department that covers accountancy or HR services and you are relying on yourself to be the payroll provider on top of your other tasks, you may be spreading yourself too thin. To be a benefit to the business, it is often better for you to be able to focus on the key elements of your job and the business itself.

Outsourcing just payroll services can be enough to free up your time so that you can fully dedicate yourself to growing your business and making it a success.

Risk management

The UK's ever-changing payroll legislation means that it can be a real challenge to keep up to date with the latest rules and regulations. This can concern everything from auto-enrolment in a pension scheme to tax law, and falling foul of the legislation can have serious consequences.

When you outsource your payroll to us, you are ensuring that whoever manages your payroll has their finger on the button of the latest in payroll legislation. We have expertise in understanding and implementing the sometimes complex payroll legislation and government regulations, and we can support you in ensuring that everything you do is compliant with these rules.

Employee satisfaction

Your employees are not just a cost for your business, they are also a business asset. They can help to make your business a success through their hard work and dedication. Ensuring that they get paid correctly and on time, every time, will help to make sure that staff morale stays high and that your employees are being properly compensated for their service.

We process payroll efficiently and accurately, including other factors such as pension scheme contributions, overtime, benefits, and sick pay. You can rest assured that with our payroll services, your employee pay will be correct and will be transferred to them on the day that it is supposed to be.

HR solutions

Many aspects of payroll management would traditionally be covered by an HR department. We offer HR solutions such as keeping employee information accurate and up to date, ensuring the accuracy of salaries and benefits, and ensuring that employees are being dealt with by the proper legislature.

By using dedicated payroll companies for your payroll needs, you aren't just ensuring that your accountancy is accurate, you are also covering some of the more time-consuming aspects of human resources. Small businesses need to prioritise the time spent on tasks to that each person can be as efficient as possible, so outsourcing these tasks to your payroll provider can be the perfect solution.

Responsiveness to changes

Many small businesses need to deal with rapid change, whether that's due to internal growth or change in direction, or changes in the social and economic landscape. A payroll service can help you to adapt to changes more easily and with less hassle. Whether that's taking on a raft of new employees that need to be processed through payroll as quickly as possible, or dealing with downsizing, our payroll services will respond to your business decisions efficiently so that your business can run more smoothly.

More control over costs

If you are in a position where you would need to hire a payroll clerk to manage your payroll, you could be better off using outsourced payroll services. A full-time member of staff isn't needed throughout the year, so you could end up shelling out far more money than you need for your payroll.

By using payroll services instead, you can reduce the cost of your payroll, as well as its related services. You don't need to pay for office supplies and equipment related to payroll, your own payroll software, or for the recruitment and training to bring someone on board.

We can provide everything you need for your payroll with clear costs and no hidden fees so you will be able to plan your spending much more easily.
