Outsourced Payroll Processing

Outsourced payroll processing keeps your employees and directors paid accurately and on time, while staying compliant with HMRC. You send the key changes each pay period, approve the figures, and payroll is processed with payslips and the right submissions handled for you.

More information

What outsourced payroll processing covers

Payroll is more than pressing “run”. This service is designed to reduce admin time, prevent errors, and keep you compliant throughout the year.

  • PAYE set-up and ongoing payroll processing (weekly, fortnightly, four-weekly or monthly)
  • HMRC RTI submissions (FPS and, where needed, EPS)
  • Payslips issued each pay run
  • Starters and leavers (including P45 processing)
  • Payroll changes: salary updates, bonuses, commissions, deductions and expenses (where applicable)
  • Statutory payments and common calculations (such as SSP, SMP and holiday pay, where required)
  • Year-end tasks such as P60s
  • Payroll reports to support your bookkeeping and management decisions

Who this service is for

This is a good fit if you employ staff, pay directors through PAYE, or are growing beyond ad hoc payments. It suits time-poor business owners who want confidence that payroll is correct, consistent, and backed by a clear process. It is also useful if you have regular changes such as variable hours, overtime, or frequent starters and leavers.

How the payroll cycle works

You provide the pay period details and any changes by an agreed cut-off date. We prepare the payroll, share the totals for approval, then process payslips and make the required HMRC submissions. You stay in control of payments, with clear figures to action for wages, PAYE and National Insurance.

Ongoing support and keeping things tidy

As your team changes, we update records promptly and keep payroll documentation organised. We can help you standardise pay run deadlines, reduce last-minute changes, and ensure your payroll outputs tie in cleanly with your bookkeeping. You get consistent payroll reporting so you always know what has been paid and what is due next.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do you need from me each pay period?
Usually we need hours or salary changes, any leave or statutory pay details, and any new starters or leavers. We will agree a simple checklist and a cut-off date so nothing is missed.
Can you handle new starters and leavers?
Yes. We can add starters, set them up correctly, and process leavers including issuing P45 details. You just provide the join or leave date and the relevant pay information.
Do you submit payroll information to HMRC?
Yes. Payroll is submitted through RTI, typically via an FPS each pay run and an EPS where needed. This helps keep your PAYE record up to date and compliant.
Can you manage workplace pensions as part of payroll?
We can support the payroll side of pensions, such as pensionable pay calculations and producing the figures needed for contributions. If you want full auto-enrolment administration, confirm your scheme and requirements so we can scope this properly.
What happens at year end?
We complete the standard year-end payroll tasks, including issuing P60s for employees who are on payroll at the year end. We also help ensure your final submissions and records are consistent for your accounts and tax work.
