Common Questions
Payroll FAQs
Straight answers about switching providers, onboarding and what's included.
How quickly can you take over our payroll?
Onboarding is typically completed within days, not months. Once we have your company and employee details, we set up your payroll profile, transfer year-to-date figures from your previous provider, and hand you access to your payslip portal ahead of your first pay run.
Do you handle pension auto-enrolment?
Yes. We assess each employee's automatic enrolment status at every pay run, manage ongoing contributions, and liaise directly with your pension provider on your behalf, so you don't have to.
What happens if HMRC contacts us about payroll?
We act as your dedicated point of contact for PAYE-related HMRC enquiries and RTI submissions, handling correspondence directly so it doesn't land on your desk.
Can you support accountants with multiple clients?
Yes — our White-Label Services plan is built for accountants and bookkeepers who want to outsource payroll for multiple clients, covering unlimited employers and employees under one dedicated support relationship, presented under your own brand if you prefer.
Is there a minimum contract length?
No. Our plans have no hidden fees and no long contracts, so you're free to move at your own pace. Pricing is shown in full on our pricing plans above.
How do employees access their payslips?
Every plan includes a secure, cloud-based payslip portal that employees can log into 24/7 from any device, with historic payslips and year-end documents always available to download.
What's included in year-end processing?
We prepare and issue P60s for every employee and submit your year-end reporting straight to HMRC, so your business stays fully compliant without any extra admin on your end.
Do you work with businesses outside the North West?
Yes. While our team is based in the North West of England, our cloud-based portal and remote onboarding mean we work with small businesses and accountants across the whole of the UK.
