Frequently asked questions

Managed payroll is the outsourcing of your payroll system to a third party. It allows you to properly pay your employees without all the hard work and time involved in the calculations and processing. Using a managed payroll service means you can save time to get on with the more important parts of your business but be sure your employees will be paid correctly every time.

There are a number of benefits to using my payroll service, the most obvious of which is the low- cost, but the list goes on:

• Processing support – I will deal with P45s if an employee leaves
• No expertise required – I deal with all the complexities and calculations so you don’t have to
• Happy employees – Using my payroll service means your employees will be paid accurately and on time. So, they will be happy
• No worry about legal changes – the law is constantly changing, but with my managed payroll system you don’t have to worry about keeping up
• Dealing with HMRC – No one likes dealing with the taxman. Using my payroll service means you don’t have to worry. I deal directly with HMRC on your behalf
• Meaning there is no need to worry about learning new IT systems or dealing with training costs. There is no need to hire a payroll specialist, I will do it all for you at a low-cost

Fill in my free payroll quote form and I will let you know.

As an employer, you will need to register with HM revenue and customs. Registration involves answering a number of questions about your business structure, so you will need to have certain information.

HMRC will issue you an employer’s starter pack through the post and supply you with your PAYE reference numbers and an account’s office number.

If you need help, I can assist with PAYE registration for your business, to make the process simple and hassle free. I then recommend implementing a suitable payroll service to properly pay your employees and keep on top of your obligations.

You will require the new employees: full name, date of birth, home address, national insurance number and a copy of the employees P45.

If an employee is a foreign national, you should satisfy yourself they have permission to be employed in the United Kingdom.

This can be checked by contacting the Department of Work and Pensions for advice. Once you have this information, you will be able to pay your employees through my payroll service.

If they have never been issued a national insurance number, they visit their local Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) for an interview. More information can be found on the DWP website: www.dwp.gov.uk.

If they have lost their national insurance number, the inland revenue search for it on receipt of a completed form CA6855. I will provide this form FREE OF CHARGE, if you need one.

Yes. Directors who are involved in the day-to-day operations of a limited company are seen as employees of that company as well as employers.

If paid in the normal manner (wage/salary), then you will need to register as an employer with HMRC and setup a PAYE system.

My terms of business require that you give me the instructions for your payroll at least 48 hours before you require it to be processed so that I can deal with any queries.

However, I hope to be able to turn your payroll around more quickly than this on most occasions. Payslips and reports will be e-mailed to you for the fastest possible delivery or emailed if you prefer.

All you have to do is tell me what changes need to be made and I will recalculate the payslip(s) concerned and send you adjusted payslips and reports.

You will however be required to pay the usual fee for processing the payroll so please try to ensure your figures are accurate! In the unlikely event that I make an error, your payroll will be re-run without charge.

In one word, yes! I guarantee accurate and timely payroll service with pre-agreed deadlines set.
