Payroll

A pay run that happens whether or not you remember it is due — payslips out, RTI filed on the day, pension uploaded, and someone to ring when a leaver's final pay is not obvious.

What the work involves

  • 01

    The run itself

    Weekly or monthly, salaried or hourly, overtime and timesheets included. £5 per payslip on a £25 monthly minimum, so a small team costs what a small team should.

  • 02

    HMRC, on the day

    Full Payment Submission filed on or before each pay date, PAYE and National Insurance calculated, and P60s issued at year end without a reminder.

  • 03

    Auto-enrolment, handled

    Assessment every pay period, contributions uploaded to the scheme, and the re-enrolment date tracked so it arrives as a diary note rather than a penalty.

  • 04

    Starters, leavers and the awkward ones

    Right tax code from day one, P45s on the way out, and statutory sick and maternity pay worked out properly rather than guessed.

How much of this a monthly fee covers depends on your volume, so we quote it after a conversation rather than before one.

Where a piece of this needs a qualified accountant — statutory accounts, corporation tax, a return that has grown complicated — it is delivered by our sister practice, Opus Accountancy Limited. One conversation either way.
