Payroll processing
We require 2 – 3 days’ notice to process your company’s payroll, but we’ll send an automated reminder in advance. Once we’ve received the relevant information, we calculate the payroll using HMRC approved software.
Before we complete the pay run, we’ll submit it to you for approval. We will also detail how much you have to pay as the employer.
All businesses in the UK running payroll need to be Real Time Information (RTI) compliant. As part of our payroll processing service, we produce your employee payslips and complete your RTI submissions. CIS deductions do not fall within the scope of RTI.
After the payroll run, we will make the relevant journal entries directly into your accounting software ready for the year-end accounts.


Workplace pension auto-enrolment
All employers must provide a workplace pension scheme; ‘automatic enrolment’. Auto-enrolment for workers in the UK automatically puts them into a workplace pension scheme. The employee, the employer and the government make contributions to said employee’s retirement savings pot.
We can help guide you through the process. We can help set-up a pension scheme with Nest, or if you’d prefer to go with another pension provider, we can help complete the necessary integration.
Once this is set-up, we can help you make the relevant pension contributions, as well as helping manage employees who opt-out of auto-enrolment.
