Payroll for Small Employers

As a small employer, you have already taken the plunge and have one or two employees. Perhaps you’re looking after their payroll yourself and you’re feeling like you’ve got too much to do to crunch those numbers every week or month. Or perhaps your payroll is already with a provider, but you’re unhappy for some reason and want to see if you can be taken better care of elsewhere.

We’d love to talk about what your business does. Why you either want to switch providers or let someone else take care of payroll for you. We love small businesses and want to make sure our service fits what you need like a glove. Larger payroll providers can treat customers with a ‘one size fits all’ approach but we’re small enough to be able to make sure that we take care of what’s really important to you, and adapt how we work to your needs.

After discussing your business so that we can get to know you, we’ll send our Letter of Engagement and GDPR Data Processor Agreement to you. This lays out what we’ll do for you and when, and you’ll know what you’ll need to do to make sure your payroll runs smoothly.

We’ll also agree a plan to enable your payroll to be set up in the easiest way possible, and agree some dates for things to be done by so you’ll know exactly when things will be completed.

We’ll take care of the transfer of your payroll from your current provider or from your own system into ours, meaning very little intervention from you.

We’ll ensure you’ve compliant with things like National Minimum Wage and Holiday Entitlement.  We’ll also talk to you about Auto Enrolment Workplace Pensions and help you choose a pension scheme that will fit with your business.
