Thinking About Outsourcing Payroll? Here’s What UK Business Owners Need to Know

What Payroll Really Involves

Payroll isn’t just payslips and tax codes. It’s a complex process that includes:

• PAYE and National Insurance calculations
• Pension auto-enrolment
• Real Time Information (RTI) submissions to HMRC
• Statutory payments like sick pay and maternity leave
• Holiday pay and leave tracking
• Staying up to date with ever-changing legislation

It’s a lot to manage, especially when you’ve got a business to run.

Common Payroll Pitfalls

We often speak to business owners who’ve run into issues like:

• Missed deadlines and HMRC penalties
• Incorrect tax codes causing confusion and complaints
• Misclassified workers leading to IR35 risks
• Manual errors that cost time and money
• Data security concerns around sensitive employee information

These problems aren’t just frustrating, they can be costly.
