Why should I outsource my payroll?

Payroll processing is essential to the success of any business and to the wellbeing of its employees. Running a fully compliant payroll requires continuous investment in expensive software, training and the ability to keep up to date with all current relevant legislation. Processing payroll in house is time consuming, often plagued with errors and prone to non-compliance as regulations change frequently. Errors can be costly not only to employees receiving incorrect salaries but reflected in possible fines issued by HMRC for incorrect or late filing.
You’ll need at least two members of staff to run in house payroll who will need to be fully conversant with the software, changing legislation and have the experience to recognise mistakes and know how to correct them to ensure full compliance. You’ll also need them to be able to cover for each other during holiday and absence periods and trust their honesty and decision-making capabilities.

FAQs about payroll outsourcing

Most frequent questions and answers

Payroll outsourcing allows you to hire a specialist payroll provider to manage your company’s payroll, HMRC and pension submissions (where applicable). This includes such things as producing payslips, reporting to HMRC and pension providers along with all other compliance and required reporting. Utilising our services can save you time and money, give you flexibility, help eliminate payroll errors and ensure confidence in compliance with fast-changing regulations. It also negates the need for fully trained payroll staff within your company freeing up valuable time and keeping costs down

This depends on size and complexity of your business but outsourcing payroll can often reduce costs for you while also increasing the accuracy and efficiency of your payroll. As we’re able to keep our overheads to a minimum we’re able to offer highly competitive prices. Please get in touch with us, we can discuss your needs and provide you with an accurate no obligation quotation.
Yes, you can transfer payroll mid tax year.
Your new payroll provider will ensure they make HMRC aware that they will be acting as your agent.
Yes, an experienced payroll company will be capable of correcting payroll errors that have occurred historically as long as they are provided with all the information. This may require further submissions to HMRC to reconcile your account.

Some of the main reasons include the initial cost and ongoing license fee for the software required to run a payroll function. You’ll need a minimum of two employees to be fully trained and conversant with the operation of the software and not to mention the constantly changing legislation.

Time is also a factor in running payroll. It can be a rather complex task and mistakes do occur when run in-house and you’ll need to be able to correct these whilst ensuring all the correct documentation is being sent to HMRC on time to avoid any penalties and fines.

Many companies start running their payroll with one trained member of staff only to run into difficulties when that employee is off ill or on holiday when payroll is due to be processed. Asking another employee to take over during this period can lead to costly mistakes within the payroll process leading to incorrect payments and incorrect submission being made to both HMRC and pension companies. Having at least two payroll trained members of staff will help cross checking of figures and prevent possible internal payment fraud taking place.
As part of our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme we are happy to offer discounts to both Charity and Not For Profit organisations in light of the excellent work they do for local, national and global communities. Please contact us and we’ll be happy to discuss this with you.
