Payroll Outsourcing
and HR Solutions UK

Finding the right fully managed payroll service provider for your company can be challenging in terms of both quality and trust. In today’s world, a quick online search inevitably means you end up with pages of potential payroll providers. It can be very daunting working out where to start and how to begin narrowing down what’s on offer.

So let us get right to the point. We focus on delivering services of exceptionally high quality. If you choose to work with us, you’ll get:

• The confidence that your company’s payroll will consistently be run accurately and delivered on time, every time.
• Highly qualified and CIPP accredited experts, giving you the reassurance that you can focus on doing what you do best while all aspects of your payroll are being taken care of.
• A dedicated account manager who you can always contact for help whenever you need it.
• Full customer support from our pragmatic (and jargon free!) specialists, making sure that your experience of outsourcing your payroll is as hassle free as possible.

No matter where you are in the world, as long as you have internet access, you’ll always have full access to your payroll information. All of the services we offer are cloud-based, available 24/7 every day of the year.

Outsourcing payroll can indeed be cost-effective, particularly for small to medium-sized businesses. It saves on the expenses associated with hiring and training in-house payroll staff, as well as the costs of purchasing and maintaining payroll software. 

Outsourcing also helps avoid the financial risks of errors and penalties due to non-compliance with tax laws and regulations. By delegating payroll to specialised providers, businesses can allocate their resources and focus more effectively on their core operations.

You should consider outsourcing payroll when:

• Business Growth: As your business grows, the complexity of payroll increases. Outsourcing can handle this complexity more efficiently.
• Time Constraints: If managing payroll in-house is consuming a significant amount of time that could be better spent on core business activities.
• Lack of Expertise: If your business lacks the expertise to manage payroll effectively and stay compliant with the latest tax laws and regulations.
• Cost Concerns: When the cost of managing payroll in-house (including staff, software, and potential penalties for errors) becomes too high.

Security and Privacy Concerns: If you’re concerned about the security of sensitive payroll data and want to ensure it’s managed with the highest level of security and compliance.

First and foremost, it is all about the team. Here at Corporate Payroll Solutions, our expert and highly qualified team members have an intricate understanding of all of the different classes and categories of requirements according to different business specifics, and all the potential complexities payroll-related services might need to accommodate.

We have a range of skills within the team that covers a wide range of sectors. Collectively there is highly specialised knowledge which means we are able to handle even the most complicated of payroll scenarios.

Our team is comfortable handling complex shift calculations, benefit allowances, holiday accruals, tax calculations, expense reimbursements, pension auto enrolment assessments… and all manner of other payroll related activities that your company might potentially require.

Unlike most outsourced corporate payroll services companies which have variable costs according to company size, the level of administrative tasks, the time required and/ or the complexity, we pride ourselves in complete transparency of operations and clear upfront pricing.

We know it’s really important to ensure you are clear about exactly what you are getting for your money. We set out the agreement with a defined set of service levels so you can make sure you are happy with the service you will be receiving.  

We charge for our online payroll services on an all-inclusive cost per payslip basis. This makes sure that you will know exactly what to expect here and now, and it also means that you will be aware of the future costs of our outsourcing payroll service if your company grows and your payroll requirements evolve as a result.

While most payrolls generally have quite similar requirements, there are particular cases when payroll companies must accommodate some very specific and complex requirements. This is frequently the case in sectors and companies that have very precise operational arrangements: for example, complex shift premium calculations, multi-site costing requirements or a high degree of variability in the patterns of work across a company.

Here at CPS, we have a dedicated team of specialists who have specific experience of working with companies in sectors likely to have these more complex requirements: for example, finance, nursing homes, leisure, schools and other academic organisations, charities and even recruitment companies.

We are yet to come across an organisation where we are unable to accommodate their requirements! So no matter what sector your company operates in, contact us today for a discussion about what you need and for a free payroll services outsourcing quote.

There are numerous benefits of using our fully managed payroll services. But we know from feedback from all our clients that one benefit that really stands out is the relief of no longer having the pressure and hassle of needing to have, and maintain, in-house payroll expertise.

When you use CPS, it becomes our responsibility to stay up to date with the fast-changing regulations, practices and methods – not yours. By outsourcing your requirements to our company, you have the reassurance of knowing your payroll is being taken care of by dedicated experts so you can concentrate on other priorities instead.

Another key benefit of using our professional fully managed payroll services is the fact that you have a year-round cover. With an in-house team, you always have the risk of someone going off sick and causing disruption to your payroll processes. Even planned leave can end up causing cover headaches – but by outsourcing your requirements, you don’t need to worry about any of this.

Finally, with our services, you don’t ever have to think about investing in new software or taking any form of action to ensure your software is kept up to date and fully compliant with the latest regulations. We take care of all of that for you.

Based on our clients’ feedback, we believe a lot of it comes down to the level of customer service we offer and the personal relationships that we build. We have been told many times that it is not simply the quality of our payroll solutions software we offer but also the quality of the CIPP (Chartered Institute of Payroll Professionals) qualified team we have that makes us stand out from the competition.

We pride ourselves on not having a ‘faceless’ call centre approach – we value the strength of the relationships we have. Our careful step-by-step approach helps us to start building the foundations of those relationships straight away. Right after the enrolment phase, we assign you a dedicated account manager ready to answer any questions you might have. They know your name, your business details and understand the specifics of your company’s needs. This all helps you avoid time-consuming ticket systems, telephone queues, and lengthy email exchanges when you need our help.

Some of the comments that we have had about the team are that they have “consistently been brilliant” and that we have very open and honest relationships with our clients. If there is an issue or query, we deal with it quickly. Some of our clients have been with us for over 20 years now which we think is a testament to the reliability and trustworthiness of the personal service we provide.

“Our CPS contact is doing such an amazing job for us, I just wanted to let you know how much we appreciate her. She is so unbelievably helpful. She has been a calm voice of reason and sanity in this time of fast changing rules and has been so professional and approachable all the way through (as always). Nothing is ever too much trouble and she does everything really quickly and efficiently. I really appreciate the help that she has given us and just wanted to recognise it. She is an absolute asset to your organisation.”

Every company is different, and obviously, they will all have different structures and needs. The ‘one-size-fits-all’ concept never works in business in general and definitely not when it comes to advising on the cost of running a payroll systems software which is why we never provide batch pricing.

Instead, we carefully assess your exact payroll requirements to determine the cost; to calculate the right price, we require specific sets of information such as the number of weekly/fortnightly/4-weekly paid staff, P11D, Pensions Automatic Enrolment support, and any other services that might be required over and above the basic payroll system.

Ensuring overall payroll data security and customer confidentiality is absolutely fundamental to everything we do here at CPS and it is something we take extremely seriously.

It goes without saying that handling and dealing with payroll systems software requires processing vast amounts of sensitive information in relation to your employees: names, social security numbers, bank details, addresses, salary information and so on. From GDPR through to physical and digital security, our exceptionally high standards ensure that your data is dealt with safely and securely, protecting you and your company from data loss, leakage, and misuse. All information is safely hosted in specialist UK data centres, which are operated by market leaders in the sector. Additionally, our core systems are replicated to multiple servers, monitored 24/7 and backed up every day.

As a company, we continue to invest in research and development, ensuring that all of our payroll company products are Cyber Essentials & Automatic enrolment certified and tested and approved by HMRC.

CPS is an excellent choice for businesses that prefer payroll services delivered with a personal touch. Thanks to CPS’s proprietary technology, the entire payroll can be split and customized into specialist packages that can cover the entire corporate structure or serve independent departments separately.

At the same time, CPS’s dedicated payroll services team is always on standby and ready to advise on UK employment law.

CPS is an award-winning payroll company and online payroll provider firm that offers fully managed and part-managed bureau payroll services to medium and large-size companies. We typically work with clients who have between 100 and 15,000 employees.

While our unique software can deliver highly customisable payroll services for small businesses that can be tailored to suit any customer requests from the simplest to the most complex needs, we do focus on providing payroll solutions and services to medium and large businesses.

CPS (Corporate Payroll Solutions) is already a leading corporate payroll services provider to many large companies and businesses operating in the UK. Our payroll solution is suitable for large companies seeking an immediate solution, as well as offering the flexibility to keep scaling up in the event of ongoing company expansion.

While CPS’s services might not be the cheapest in relation to some providers, the quality, simplicity, and effectiveness of these services compared to others makes sure that CPS continues to be one of the most in-demand payroll services providers in the UK. Large companies choosing CPS will benefit from regular face-to-face meetings at the firm’s offices and direct access to a dedicated account manager via email, zoom, and over the phone.

CPS can provide both part-managed packages or a fully managed payroll service and there is no requirement for qualified experts or dedicated payroll professionals in-house – it simply works as an extension of your organisation. With instant access, there will be no additional burden on your company’s IT team, with the easy to implement software immediately adding value by reducing costs and increasing efficiency and accuracy. CPS’s solution ensures total compliance and gives you the reassurance that your organisation is up to date with the latest legislation changes.

CPS guarantees to pay your staff the right amount, on time — or your money back. That’s impressive in itself, but it doesn’t stop there. If one of your employees suffers a loss in earnings because of an error made by CPS, the company will personally reimburse the money and send an apology email taking full responsibility for the mistake.

If you are looking for expert payroll services with a personal touch, CPS is the ultimate UK-based payroll service provider for you.
