How payroll works in practice
What I need from you
Before each pay run, I'll need a few straightforward pieces of information: the hours worked (for hourly-paid staff), any changes to pay, new starters or leavers, and any other adjustments such as statutory pay or deductions.
Once I have what I need, I'll process the payroll, produce payslips and submit the RTI return to HMRC — all before your payment date.
Pension auto-enrolment
If your employees are eligible for auto-enrolment, I'll handle the pension submissions as part of the payroll process. This includes calculating contributions, submitting to your pension provider and keeping records in line with The Pensions Regulator's requirements.
If you're setting up auto-enrolment for the first time, I can help you understand your obligations and get the process in place correctly.
Common questions about payroll
How often can payroll be run?
I can run payroll weekly, fortnightly, four-weekly or monthly — whatever suits your business. Most small businesses run monthly payroll, but I will work to whatever frequency you need.
Do I need to enrol my employees in a pension?
If you employ staff who meet the eligibility criteria — broadly, aged between 22 and state pension age and earning above the earnings trigger — you are required to automatically enrol them in a workplace pension. I handle the pension submissions as part of the payroll service.
What is RTI and why does it matter?
Real Time Information (RTI) is HMRC system for receiving payroll data. Employers are required to submit payroll information to HMRC on or before each pay day. I handle RTI submissions as part of every pay run.
Can you handle payroll for a director-only limited company?
Yes. Many limited company directors run a small salary through payroll for tax efficiency reasons. I can set up and run a director payroll, including the RTI submissions and any pension contributions.
What happens when an employee joins or leaves?
I handle starters and leavers as part of the service — including issuing P45s for leavers and setting up new employees correctly in the payroll system.
