Payroll services for growing businesses
When your business grows, you may need to hire more staff. Some new business owners have never managed more than one or two employees before — suddenly you are processing new starters, statutory pay and auto-enrolment pensions. Through our payroll software, BrightPay, we deliver an online automated process with a complete set of payroll functionality integrated directly into your accounting software.
- ✓Securely store all employee information and coordinate working hours
- ✓Manage annual leave, sick days and parental leave via an employee calendar
- ✓Calculate, record and apply Statutory Sick Pay (SSP)
- ✓Operate automatic enrolment and traditional pension schemes
- ✓Generate payslips and share with relevant individuals
- ✓Set levels of authority to control access to sensitive data
Providing peace of mind
With Real Time Information (RTI), employers need to submit information to HMRC on or before the date they pay employees. Failure to meet these deadlines could result in substantial financial penalties. When a payroll period comes to an end, we set notifications within our system, prepare all necessary calculations and take them through a sign-off process. Once you are happy, we submit RTI on your behalf — so you remain compliant and never miss a deadline.
First-time employers welcome
If you are about to hire your first employee, we can take the stress out of setting up payroll. As an employer, you are responsible for collecting and keeping records of employee details, operating PAYE and informing HMRC when staff join or their circumstances change. We guide you through every step and handle the ongoing administration.
