FAQs

  • 1. I'm taking on my first employee. What do I need to do?

    You'll need to register as an employer with HMRC before the first payday, set up payroll and check whether the new starter needs to be enrolled in a workplace pension. We can handle all of this for you, so your first payroll runs smoothly from day one.

  • 2. Can you run payroll if I'm the only director and employee?

    Yes. Many directors pay themselves a small salary through payroll as part of a tax-efficient mix with dividends. We'll set it up, handle the HMRC submissions and make sure it fits with your wider tax planning.

  • 3. What do you need from me each month?

    Just the changes, like new starters, leavers, overtime, bonuses, sick leave or holiday. We agree a cut-off date each month so you know exactly when to send it over, and we take care of the rest.

  • 4. Do I have to offer a workplace pension?

    Most employers do. Under auto-enrolment rules, you must enrol eligible staff into a workplace pension and pay contributions. Even if no one currently qualifies, you still have duties to complete. We set everything up, keep track of who qualifies and handle the ongoing admin.

  • 5. How will my employees get their payslips?

    Your team gets secure access to an online portal where they can view payslips, P60s and other documents whenever they need them. That means no paper and no emails with sensitive information going astray.
