Payroll Compliance with Changing Regulations

Payroll rules change regularly, and small mistakes can lead to HMRC queries, incorrect pay, or missed deadlines. This service keeps your payroll compliant as regulations, thresholds and reporting requirements move, so your team are paid correctly and your employer obligations stay on track.

More information

What this payroll compliance service covers

You get ongoing payroll support that is designed around HMRC rules and real-world deadlines. The focus is on accuracy, timely submissions, and making sure changes are applied properly.

  • PAYE and RTI submissions (FPS and EPS) on the right schedule
  • Keeping tax codes, thresholds, NI categories and statutory rates up to date
  • Payslips and payroll calculations for employees and directors
  • Statutory payments and leave reporting (where applicable)
  • Employer payment summaries, recoveries and reliefs where relevant
  • Pension duties support, including correct pensionable pay and contributions
  • Payroll record keeping and clear month-end summaries
  • Year-end payroll tasks such as P60s and final submissions

When this service is most useful

This is a good fit if you are time-poor but want confidence that payroll is being run correctly, even when rules change.

Common situations include:

  • You have taken on your first employee and want payroll set up properly
  • Your payroll is small, but the admin and compliance risk feel disproportionate
  • You have had issues with late RTI filings, incorrect codes, or confusing HMRC notices
  • You are growing and need a consistent monthly process for payroll and pensions
  • You want clear answers in plain English when thresholds or reporting requirements change

How delivery works

Payroll compliance works best as a repeatable monthly cycle with clear responsibilities.

Typically, the process includes:

  1. Payroll onboarding: confirm pay frequency, leavers and starters process, pension scheme details, and what approvals you want.
  2. Monthly inputs: you provide changes (hours, bonuses, statutory leave, expenses where relevant) by an agreed cut-off.
  3. Run and review: payroll is processed, checks are completed, and any queries are raised before finalising.
  4. Reporting and submissions: RTI is filed and you receive payslips and a summary of what to pay and when.
  5. Regulation updates applied: when rates, thresholds or rules change, payroll settings and calculations are updated for you.

Ongoing assurance and support

Payroll compliance is not just about paying people. It is about staying ahead of avoidable errors.

As part of ongoing support, you can expect:

  • Regular checks that payroll remains aligned to current HMRC requirements
  • Clear guidance on what a rule change means for your business and your take-home pay calculations
  • Practical help responding to HMRC queries relating to payroll submissions
  • A consistent audit trail so you can answer questions quickly and confidently.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you keep payroll compliant when regulations change?
We monitor updates to payroll rules, rates and reporting requirements and apply changes to your payroll process at the right time. You will be told what is changing and what you need to do, in plain English.
What information do you need each month to run payroll?
You provide a list of any changes, such as hours, overtime, bonuses, sickness, leave, starters and leavers, by an agreed cut-off date. We will confirm what else is needed during onboarding so the process stays smooth.
Can you run payroll for a director-only company?
Yes, payroll can be set up and run for directors, including the correct PAYE and NI treatment. We will agree the pay schedule and make sure RTI submissions are filed correctly.
Do you deal with pension duties and auto-enrolment?
We can support payroll-side pension compliance by ensuring pensionable pay and contributions are calculated correctly and reflected in your payroll reporting. If you also need help with scheme administration and assessments, we will confirm what is included for your setup.
What if I have missed submissions or received an HMRC notice?
We can review what has happened, check your RTI position, and help you respond with the right information. If corrections are needed, we will explain the options and handle the amended submissions where possible.
