Managed Payroll Services - FAQs

What is a managed payroll service?

A managed payroll service is an outsourcing solution in which a third-party provider assumes responsibility for all aspects of payroll management for a business.

This service includes tasks such as salary calculations, tax compliance, deductions, and reporting, enabling businesses to delegate payroll responsibilities and ensure precise, efficient, and compliant payroll processing.

Why is payroll software important?

Payroll software streamlines the process of payroll calculations and deductions, offering several advantages to businesses.

With the automation it provides, there is a significantly reduced risk of human error in the payroll process, ensuring that your employees are accurately compensated.

Ultimately, by taking over the more intricate aspects of payroll processing, managed payroll service software not only improves accuracy but also enhances efficiency and provides peace of mind to businesses, ensuring that employees are paid correctly and on time while maintaining compliance with legal requirements.

A fully managed payroll service will also contact HMRC on your behalf. It is cost effective and you won’t have to worry about your employees getting paid.

You’ll have more control over your payroll services if you opt for a part-managed option, and you’ll be able to outsource most of the day-to-day running of your payroll while you are still able to input into the function.
