Payroll and auto-enrolment.
Cloud payroll, handled completely. We work out the right pay for each employee after tax, National Insurance and any statutory deductions, file the report to HMRC on or before payday, enrol the workplace pension scheme, and send the digital payslip straight to the employee.

Payroll and pensions, handled together
Payroll does two things. It tells you what to pay each employee after tax, National Insurance and any statutory deductions, and it reports the figures to HMRC. The report (a Full Payment Submission, or FPS) has to be sent on or before payday under the Real Time Information (RTI) rules, which is where the late-filing penalties most often arise.
We run all of that through cloud payroll software, post the wages journal straight into your accounting ledger, and send the digital payslip direct to each employee through a secure portal, so they can check their own pay without having to come through the company. Your team can email payroll questions to us directly, and any queries from your side land in the same channel.
What's covered each pay run
-
1HMRC reporting on payday
The Full Payment Submission goes in on or before payday under the Real Time Information rules, with any catch-up adjustments handled in the same run.
-
2Statutory pay calculated correctly
Sick pay, maternity pay, paternity pay and any other statutory leave worked out to HMRC tables, including the recoverable element through the employer claim.
-
3Benefits in kind reported
Company cars, medical insurance and other taxable benefits captured on the P11D each year, or payrolled through the regular payroll where that works better.
Director payroll or full team payroll
Whether you are a sole director managing your personal salary or an expanding business with a growing headcount, the payroll setup adapts as the business changes.
Director-only payroll
As part of our limited company accounts, we manage your salary. We calculate the threshold that protects your State Pension and National Insurance credits without adding tax you do not need, with the rest handled through dividends.
- Primary Threshold check
- Annual PAYE schemes
- Works alongside your dividend model
Team payroll
For growing businesses, we act as your outsourced payroll department. Payroll can be weekly or monthly depending on how your staff are paid. We manage starter and leaver declarations, and keep you compliant with the Pensions Regulator. Payroll journals are synchronised directly into your bookkeeping ledger, feeding clean data into your management accounts.
- Weekly and monthly payrolls
- Employee portal via smartphone app
- Named account manager
Workplace pensions and auto-enrolment
Under the Pensions Act 2008, auto-enrolment is a strict legal requirement, not an optional benefit. If you employ staff, you must assess them, enrol eligible employees into a qualifying scheme (such as NEST), and manage statutory communications.
We handle the auto-enrolment cycle (staging dates, declarations of compliance, the employer and employee contribution splits, and the re-enrolment review every three years), so The Pensions Regulator has the right information at the right time.
Construction Industry Scheme (CIS)
For construction businesses running both employed staff and subcontractors, CIS processing runs alongside standard payroll. We verify each subcontractor with HMRC before the first payment, apply the correct 0%, 20% or 30% deduction depending on their status, file CIS300 returns when due, and issue the payment and deduction statements your subcontractors need for their own self-assessment.
The CIS work is covered in detail on our dedicated CIS service page, with the practitioner-level detail set out in the CIS guide.
Frequently asked questions
RTI penalties, auto-enrolment, and how payslips are delivered
What are the penalties for late RTI submissions?
RTI penalties are automatic. If your Full Payment Submission (FPS) is late, the penalty is between £100 and £400 per month depending on headcount, with interest charged on any late tax or NI payments alongside it.
Who qualifies for auto-enrolment?
You must enrol and make an employer's contribution for all staff who are aged between 22 and the State Pension age, earn at least £10,000 a year, and normally work in the UK. We handle the assessment of these criteria continuously during every pay run.
How do my employees receive their payslips?
We operate a paperless system. Your employees are granted access to a secure, GDPR-compliant smartphone app or web portal where they can view and download their current and historic payslips, P60s, and update their personal details directly.
