Payroll and PAYE Services for Employers

Employing staff brings additional responsibilities, from registering with HMRC and setting up PAYE (Pay As You Earn) to calculating wages, making the correct deductions and submitting payroll information on time.

Our experienced payroll team provides payroll support and advice to employers across the UK. Whether you are employing someone for the first time, need help with an existing PAYE scheme or want to outsource your payroll completely, we can manage the process for you.

We provide payroll services for businesses with one employee to 50+ employees, taking care of the regular administration and helping you meet your responsibilities as an employer.

 

PAYE for Employers

PAYE (Pay As You Earn) is the system used by HMRC to collect Income Tax and National Insurance through payroll. When you become an employer, you may need to register with HMRC, set up a payroll and report your employees' pay and deductions to HMRC. As your business grows, payroll can become more complicated, particularly when you have new starters and leavers, changes in pay, overtime, bonuses, statutory payments, pension contributions and other deductions to manage.

Our payroll specialists can take care of your PAYE for employees, ensuring payroll is processed accurately and the required information is submitted to HMRC. 

HMRC PAYE for employers and payroll responsibilities

Our payroll service can include:   

  • Weekly, fortnightly, four-weekly or monthly payroll processing
  • PAYE and National Insurance calculations
  • Payslips for employees
  • New starters and employee leavers
  • Holiday pay
  • Statutory Sick Pay (SSP)
  • Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP)
  • Statutory Paternity Pay (SPP)
  • Statutory Adoption Pay (SAP)
  • Overtime, bonuses and other additions to pay
  • Salary sacrifice and payroll deductions
  • Pension contributions and auto enrolment
  • Payroll information required for your accounts
  • PAYE information and submissions to HMRC
  • Ongoing payroll support and advice


HMRC Employer Registrations and PAYE Setup

Taking on your first employee? We can help with HMRC employer registrations and get your payroll set up correctly from the beginning.

Once your business needs to operate PAYE, you must register as an employer with HMRC and provide the required payroll information. There are also responsibilities relating to workplace pensions and pension auto enrolment.

We can guide you through the process and deal with the administration on your behalf, including setting up your PAYE payroll and helping you establish an appropriate pension scheme.

Starting correctly can prevent payroll problems later and gives you the reassurance that you are meeting your obligations as an employer.

Payroll Support and Advice

Payroll is about more than producing a payslip

Employment and payroll rules change regularly, and employers need to keep up to date with PAYE requirements, statutory pay, National Insurance, minimum wage rates, pension contributions and reporting deadlines. 

Our experienced team keeps up to date with payroll legislation and HMRC requirements so that you don't have to.

We provide practical payroll support and advice throughout the year and can help you understand how changes affect both your employees and your business.

If HMRC contacts you about your PAYE, we can also help deal with enquiries and correspondence on your behalf.

Outsource Your Payroll

Outsourcing payroll can be a simple and cost-effective alternative to processing it yourself.

Instead of spending valuable time calculating wages, checking deductions, producing payslips and keeping up with PAYE legislation, you can leave the administration to our experienced payroll team.

You simply provide us with the information we need about your employees and any changes during the payroll period. We process the payroll and provide the information required to pay your employees, HMRC and your pension provider.

We can provide a payroll-only service, so you don't need to use our bookkeeping or accounts services to benefit from our payroll expertise.

If you already have a payroll in place, we can take it over at any point during the tax year.

Payroll Services for Small Businesses

We specialise in supporting small and growing businesses.

Some clients come to us when they employ their very first member of staff and need help understanding PAYE. Others already have established payrolls but no longer want the responsibility and administration of processing payroll in-house.

We work with employers with one employee through to businesses with 50+ employees.

Our aim is to provide a friendly, reliable payroll service combined with straightforward advice when you need it.

Pension Auto Enrolment Support

Employers also have responsibilities relating to workplace pensions and pension auto enrolment. We can manage pension auto enrolment alongside your payroll, including calculating employee and employer pension contributions and providing the information required by your pension provider.

Pension auto enrolment is included within our payroll service, but we can also provide pension administration as a standalone service if you prefer to run your own payroll.

If you need to establish a workplace pension scheme for the first time, we can help you get the necessary arrangements in place and provide ongoing support with pension administration.

Payroll Services Across the UK

We're based in Salisbury, Wiltshire but our payroll services are available to employers throughout the UK.

Payroll can be managed remotely by telephone and email, so there is no need for your payroll provider to be based close to your business. Whether you need help setting up PAYE for your first employee, ongoing payroll support and advice or a complete outsourced payroll service, our experienced team can help.
