Real time

Payroll, straight into your books

You'll know what's owed to HMRC and your pension provider before it's due, not after.

Low touch

What we need from you.

Good to know

Outside the fixed fee.

Setting up or running your workplace pension scheme, benefits-in-kind returns (P11Ds), Construction Industry Scheme (CIS), termination payments, corrections after a pay run has been submitted, or HMRC compliance checks sit outside the fixed fee.

If you ever need something outside the fixed fee, we'll agree the price with you before we start. No surprise invoices.

FAQs

Common questions.

Is director payroll included?

Yes. Director payroll is included with our Limited Company and Scale packages. Scale also covers a team of up to 10, and anyone else is a per-employee add-on. Sole traders with staff need Sole Trader Plus, where payroll is a per-employee add-on. You'll see the price when you get your fixed quote.

Do you pay my staff?

We prepare everything: payslips, the amounts due and the HMRC submissions. You make the payments themselves from your business bank account.

Can you set up our workplace pension?

We calculate and process pension contributions through payroll every pay cycle. Setting up the pension scheme itself is something we can quote for separately.
