Payroll & Automatic Enrolment
Payroll is much more than a pay packet at the end of the month, it’s a combination of Statutory Rights, HR, Employment Law and Taxation, it’s a technical process. Statutory rights, allowances and contribution levels change regularly and as an employer its important you keep ahead of the changes to ensure you remain within the law.
Its also important to ensure payroll is submitted on time, and for your employees it is critical you get it right first time.
We use Brightpay software to provide our payroll solutions.

Automatic Enrolment
Under the Pensions Act 2008, every employer in the UK must put certain staff into a workplace pension scheme and contribute towards it. This is called 'automatic enrolment'. If you employ at least one person you are an employer and you have certain legal duties.
Payroll and auto enrolment go hand in hand. We work with our payroll clients to regularly assess staff eligibility, set up schemes, submit contributions to your chosen pension provider, complete your declaration of compliance, and ensure you are prepared for re-enrolment when the time comes.
