What running payroll actually involves

Payroll isn't just paying your staff — it's a legal process with strict HMRC deadlines. Every pay period you need to calculate PAYE tax and National Insurance, submit Real Time Information (RTI) to HMRC on or before payday, issue accurate payslips, and manage statutory payments like sick pay, maternity pay and holiday pay correctly.

At year-end there's also P60s for every employee, P11Ds for any benefits provided, and Employment Allowance to claim if eligible. Getting any of this wrong risks penalties from HMRC and, more importantly, upset staff who aren't paid correctly.

We run the entire process for you each month, so you just tell us who worked what and we handle the rest — calculations, submissions, payslips, the lot.

Workplace pensions

Since 2018, every UK employer must automatically enrol eligible staff into a workplace pension and contribute on their behalf. This applies from your very first employee — there's no size threshold. Non-compliance is actively pursued by The Pensions Regulator, with fines starting at £400.

We handle the entire auto-enrolment process: assessing eligibility, setting up your pension scheme, calculating contributions each pay run, and submitting your compliance declarations on schedule.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to register as an employer before running payroll?

Yes — you must register with HMRC as an employer before your first payday, which can take up to 5 working days to process. We handle this registration for you as part of getting your payroll set up — £100 as a standalone service.

How much does payroll cost?

Payroll is included within our Business Essentials package, from £150/month, alongside bookkeeping, VAT and annual accounts. If you only need standalone payroll, get in touch for a tailored quote based on your number of employees.

What is workplace pension auto-enrolment?

It's a legal requirement for UK employers to automatically enrol eligible employees into a pension scheme and contribute toward it, regardless of business size. It applies from your very first member of staff, with penalties for non-compliance.

How quickly can you get my payroll running?

Once we have your employee details and employer PAYE reference, we can typically have your first payroll run processed within a few days — sooner if you're already registered with HMRC.

What happens if an employee's pay changes mid-month?

Just let us know via WhatsApp or email before the pay run and we'll adjust accordingly — overtime, bonuses, changes in hours or a new starter are all handled as part of the monthly service.
