When expanding up into the UK, outsourcing your payroll can be a very effective cost and time saving solution
This is where you choose an external payroll provider to look after your company payroll instead of doing it yourself. You send them your payroll data and they take care of the payroll administration including calculations, payslips and leavers and joiners. If BACS approved, they’ll be able to make payments directly to your staff and HMRC on your behalf. The whole process is managed via a secure online platform which you can access.
We provide a comprehensive service to ensure that you are compliant with UK payroll regulatory requirements at every stage. We can help and assist with payroll registration, payroll processing, salaries and PAYE payments via BACS, auto enrolment pension registration, pension uploads, declaration of compliance to the pension regulator.
There are several compelling reasons for outsourcing your payroll; increasing and complex legal requirements; the cost of payroll software upgrades and training; covering payroll staff absences; the time costs of payroll processing, but the most important one is mitigating the risk to a business-critical function. The reassurance of knowing your people will be paid accurately and on time is one less thing you’ll need to worry about.
