Service
Payroll, PAYE & CIS
Payroll is unforgiving — it runs on a fixed date whether or not anyone has time, and getting it wrong affects the people who work for you. We run it as a managed service, including the pension and CIS obligations that sit alongside it.
What the fee covers
Included as standard
Payroll run to your schedule
Weekly, fortnightly or monthly. Payslips issued to staff and a summary to you showing exactly what to pay and to whom.
RTI submissions to HMRC
Full Payment Submission on or before each pay date, and the Employer Payment Summary where it applies. Late RTI filings attract penalties, so this is the part we never let slip.
Starters, leavers and statutory pay
New starter checklists, P45s, P60s at year-end, plus statutory sick, maternity, paternity and adoption pay calculated correctly.
Pension auto-enrolment
Assessment each period, contributions calculated and uploaded to your pension provider, and re-enrolment handled when it comes round.
CIS for construction
Subcontractor verification, deduction statements, and monthly CIS300 returns. For subcontractors, we make sure deductions suffered are actually reclaimed.
Common questions
Questions we get asked about this
How much notice do you need each month?
We agree a cut-off date with you — typically a few working days before pay day — and send a reminder before it. If nothing has changed, you do not need to send anything.
Do you deal with the pension provider directly?
Yes, once you authorise us on the account. Contributions are calculated and uploaded as part of the payroll run rather than being a separate job you have to remember.
I am a CIS subcontractor — is this relevant to me?
Yes. Deductions taken from your payments are advance tax, and they need to be set against your Self Assessment or reclaimed through your company's payroll scheme. A surprising number of subcontractors are owed a refund and have not claimed it.
What about IR35 and off-payroll working?
If you contract through your own company, status matters and the rules differ depending on whether your client is in the public sector, a large private company, or a small one. We will talk you through where the responsibility sits in your arrangements.
