A guide to our payroll management services

As a payroll management company, we work with small and medium-sized businesses to provide accurate and reliable payroll services. Depending on the needs of your business, we can provide a tailored solution. We offer two main types of outsourced payroll services: Essential and Managed. Here is our guide to both.

Essential Payroll

Essential Payroll provides all the standard reports and procedures for both administering and processing payroll. We also take the time to fully understand the needs of our clients, to help us build the best solution that meets their exact requirements. 

Every payroll cycle consists of payroll administration followed by payroll processing. Administration deals with updates to the system, including new starters, pension and employee changes. The processing part deals with applying gross payments and deductions, as well as the calculation of NET pay. 

For clients with more complex requirements or high staff turnover, we might implement a change control mechanism which sets timescales for the payroll administration element. This ensures payroll is ready for payment processing. 

The Essential Payroll service includes the following:

  • Processing starters and leavers
  • Calculating starter and leaver pro rata payments and holiday entitlements
  • Processing statutory payments, student loan repayments, attachment to earnings orders and pension deductions
  • Redundancy and PILON payments
  • Liaising with HMRC
  • Employee payslips via paper, email or portal formats
  • HMRC submissions every pay period
  • End of year submissions and P60 production

Managed Payroll

Managed Payroll offers a more customisable approach to payroll that’s based on the needs of your business. 

Managed Payroll can include the following:

  • In-depth department costs
  • Multi-company reporting
  • Dedicated support
  • Payroll management

These services are in addition to the services offered in our Essential package.

Additional services:

Payroll Partnership

We offer a Payroll Partner service to organisations where PAYE or CIS complements the other services they provide to their clients. This allows them to focus on their core business while still being able to offer a full range of services.

For businesses such as accountancy firms, partnering with a payroll management company is becoming more and more popular. That’s because it allows them to fully offload their payroll service provision while still retaining a partner link status. It also means that their clients won’t take their payroll needs to a competitor, who may provide payroll management with a view to signing them up for more lucrative services such as tax advice or audit work later on. 

Our Payroll Partner service is extremely flexible and provides the following:

  • A dedicated account manager for partner and clients
  • Branded communications such as a dedicated payroll telephone number and email address
  • Flexible invoicing. We can invoice the partner or the client
  • Reporting
