FAQs

What is payroll?

Simply, payroll is the process of making sure all employees in your business receive their pay – whether it’s a monthly salary or an annual bonus. It involves calculating wages, withholding pension contributions and taxes, and ensuring compliance with employment laws.

Should I outsource payroll?

Payroll is one of the many tedious administrative tasks that can end up eating into your valuable time as a business owner. If you’re finding that you have less time for deeper, more impactful work, then outsourcing payroll could be a big help. Not only does it save you time, but it alleviates the stress and worry that comes with it.

We find outsourcing is more suited to startups and SMEs. Larger businesses can benefit too, but often have in-house finance teams.

How often can payroll be processed?

Payroll can be processed on a weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or custom schedule based on your business’s needs. Whatever works for your business, works for us. 

What records do I need to keep for payroll?

You must keep accurate records of all payroll transactions, including employee pay, tax deductions, National Insurance contributions, pension contributions, and any benefits provided. These records must be kept for at least three years and should be available in case of an HMRC audit.

What happens if I make a mistake in payroll processing?

If you make a payroll mistake, such as underpaying or overpaying employees or reporting incorrect information to HMRC, you’ll need to correct the issue as quickly as possible. Payroll software often includes error detection, but a team of payroll professionals helps to avoid errors entirely.

What about pensions?

All employers are now required to offer a workplace pension, with eligible employees added via auto-enrolment. Part of the payroll management includes calculating and deducting pension contributions (from both employees and employers). We can do this for you.

How can I ensure my payroll is compliant with HMRC regulations?

For payroll compliance, you must register as an employer, operate PAYE, deduct Income Tax and National Insurance from employees’ wages, and submit regular Real-Time Information (RTI) reports. There’s a lot to do and it’s easy to miss things, which is why many businesses turn to a professional for help.

How much does it cost to outsource payroll?

The cost of outsourced payroll services depends on the size of your business and the number of employees. Rest assured, we offer transparent pricing and can provide a quote tailored to your specific requirements after a free consultation.
