Outsourcing can allow you to capitalise on automation possibilities, best-breed technology solutions and continuous innovation.

We cut through all complexity and simplify the process for both your employee and HR teams.

Payroll agenda processing in the United Kingdom

Payroll can be a high resource consuming function if managed internally resulting from demanding statutory requirements and stringent deadlines. Leveraging off an outsourced service provider is an advisable choice for most companies. This diminishes the administrative burden, saves time and resources, and most importantly eliminates the potential risks of non-compliance and related penalties from local authorities.

Continuity of payroll processes is another key benefit of outsourcing and allows for the distribution of your employee’s salaries and payslips, correctly and on time. Our payroll services in the UK cover all these functions and tasks:

• Data collection: Collation of all input data and pertinent information in order to process an accurate payroll calculation
• Payroll calculation: Gross-to-net calculation of all employee deductions, taxes and net salaries in compliance with the statutory requirements; calculation of off-cycle payments
