Payroll Service

Set up is quick and easy. We keep paperwork to a minimum and can get your service started within 2 weeks. We’ll ask you to sign a Letter of Agreement which sets out clearly what you can expect from us and what we need from you.  

We’ll register you as an employer with HMRC and act as your agent in all dealings with them.  We’ll manage the tax and national insurance deductions and provide you with a statement for paying over what is due to them.

We’ll calculate your personal assistant’s pay in accordance with your instructions, making the necessary statutory deductions for tax, national insurance and pensions.  We usually run payrolls every 4 weeks to fit in with local authority personal budget/direct payments timetables. 

We’ll process any variations you require in line with your instructions, for example if someone is off sick or additional hours are worked to cover holidays.  No need to fill in time sheets (unless you want to) - simply tell us over the phone or by email. 

In line with legal requirements, we’ll set up a workplace pension scheme for you and automatically enrol any qualifying worker, making the necessary calculations of contributions.  We’ll handle all the communications with your personal assistants and deal with the pension provider (usually NEST) on your behalf.

Payslips are produced and distributed to your personal assistants by secure email. These will set out all the pay details as well as a note of holiday taken and days left, which we know comes in handy.  We’ll also produce and send out annual P60s and P45s when someone leaves.

You’ll receive a report for each pay period setting out the net wages due to each personal assistant for you to pay.  We’ll send these either electronically via secure email or through the post. These reports can be provided to your local authority for checking and audit purposes.
