What it is
Payroll is the job of paying your people properly: working out their pay, tax and National Insurance, producing payslips, reporting to HMRC in real time on each payday, and handling starters, leavers and workplace pensions along the way.
Who needs it
Any business that pays employees, and most company directors who take a salary. As soon as someone's on the payroll, HMRC expects accurate, on-time reporting every pay run.
Common mistakes
- Late or missed Real Time Information (RTI) submissions
- Using the wrong tax code, so staff pay too much or too little
- Overlooking auto-enrolment pension duties
- Payslip errors that knock team trust and cause queries

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about our payroll service.
Do you handle RTI submissions to HMRC?+
Yes. Every time we run your payroll, we send the required Real Time Information report to HMRC on or before payday, so your reporting is always up to date.
Can you set up and run workplace pensions?+
Yes. We handle auto-enrolment: assessing your team, enrolling those who qualify, and submitting contributions to your pension provider each pay run.
I only pay myself as a director. Can you help?+
Absolutely. We run director-only payroll and make sure your salary is reported correctly to HMRC, which is a common part of a tax-efficient setup for company owners.
How do my employees get their payslips?+
We produce clear digital payslips each pay run, so your team always has what they need for mortgages, references and their own records.
Can you deal with starters, leavers and changes?+
Yes: new starters, leavers, pay changes, bonuses, statutory pay and more are all handled as part of your managed payroll.
