Flawless Payroll &
Auto-Enrolment.

Protect your staff and your business. Our payroll services manage complex RTI submissions, statutory pay, and workplace pensions so you can focus on operations, not administration.

Outsource Your Payroll

Zero Margin for Error

Payroll is the most sensitive operational function in your business. Paying staff late or incorrectly destroys morale, while failing to report to HMRC triggers immediate, automated fines.

The introduction of Real Time Information (RTI) means HMRC must be notified on or before the exact day you pay your employees. You cannot run payroll retroactively.

We strip away this burden. Using BrightPay integrated directly into Xero, we automate the calculations for PAYE, National Insurance, student loans, and statutory leaves, delivering compliant, digital payslips directly to your team's smartphones.

Workplace Pensions & Auto-Enrolment

Under the Pensions Act 2008, Auto-enrolment is a strict legal requirement, not an optional benefit. If you employ staff, you must assess them, enrol eligible employees into a qualifying scheme (such as NEST), and manage statutory communications.

We handle the entire Auto-enrolment lifecycle. From staging dates and declarations of compliance to calculating the exact employer/employee contribution splits, keeping you entirely off The Pensions Regulator's radar.

Construction Industry Scheme (CIS)

If you operate in the construction sector, you know standard payroll software fails to handle subcontractors. We process monthly CIS returns, verify subcontractors with HMRC, apply the correct 20% or 30% deductions, and provide the mandatory payment and deduction statements.

Payroll & Pension FAQ

Strictly Factual Answers

What are the penalties for late RTI submissions?

HMRC does not forgive late reporting. If your Full Payment Submission (FPS) is late, you will face an automatic penalty ranging from £100 to £400 per month depending on the number of employees you have, plus interest on any late payments.

Who qualifies for Auto-enrolment?

You must enrol and make an employer's contribution for all staff who are aged between 22 and the State Pension age, earn at least £10,000 a year, and normally work in the UK. We handle the assessment of these criteria continuously during every pay run.

How do my employees receive their payslips?

We operate a paperless system. Your employees are granted access to a secure, GDPR-compliant smartphone app or web portal where they can view and download their current and historic payslips, P60s, and update their personal details seamlessly.
