Questions from employers
How soon can you take over our payroll?
Usually from the next pay run if you contact us at least two weeks before payday. Otherwise from the one after.
Do our employees see a new payslip?
Yes. The layout is ours, and the lines are the same: earnings, taxes, benefits, leave and net pay. We send each employee a short note before the first one.
What do you need from us each month?
Hours or a rota export, new starters, leavers, pay changes and approved leave, by the 18th for a monthly payroll (sample).
Who is responsible if a filing is late?
We file by the due date once you have approved the payroll and the funds are in your account. The client agreement sets out who pays a penalty if a filing is late; ask for a copy before you sign.
Can you run payroll for one or two employees?
Yes. The base fee covers the pay run; the price per employee applies to each person paid.
