Payroll services in Southampton

Whether you have a handful of staff or several hundred, payroll is routine and vitally important. You can’t afford to run late with payments, overpay, underpay, or forget employer pension contributions.

Payroll is a job best outsourced to us

If your employees have a fixed wage, never go off sick, never have babies, and don’t need a pension, you might feel that your payroll is relatively straightforward.

In reality, all these situations and many more, do occur – regularly! Moreover, you must navigate complexities such as minimum wage and living wage compliance, attachments to earnings, advance payments or accidental overpayments, and calculating both employee and employer pension contributions.

A big part of growing a successful business is ensuring your employees are always paid on time and accurately. This might seem easy in theory, but the calculations can quickly add up—and on top of that, you need to stay up to date with PAYE legislation.

Rather than juggling this function on your own, why not outsource it to the payroll accountants at BBK Accounts? Our bespoke services ensure that your payroll is always ready on time and in full accordance with HMRC requirements. You don’t need to worry about anything with us by your side!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Why should my business outsource payroll?

Payroll is one of those routine tasks that are essential to get right. Each employee’s needs are unique, and the employer must consider those needs. You have to calculate overtime, manage pension enrolment, run employee benefit schemes, and take student loans into account. No wonder payroll can be a mammoth task, even if yours is a small business. Doing it on your own can lead to a lot of stress—and put you at risk of penalties from HMRC if you make mistakes. By outsourcing your payroll, you can ensure accuracy, compliance, and peace of mind.

What information must I have from a new employee before I pay them?

To ensure you have all the necessary information before paying a new employee, make sure to collect the following details:

  • Full name
  • Address
  • Date of birth
  • National Insurance number
  • P45 form from their previous employer (if applicable)
  • Employment start date
  • Bank account details for payment
  • Tax code and student loan status (if applicable)
  • Details of any pension schemes they are enrolled in

What are the penalties for late or incorrect payroll processing?

Late or incorrect payroll processing can result in significant penalties, including fines from HMRC for late PAYE payments or incorrect tax deductions. You may also face penalties for underpayment of wages, not following minimum wage laws, or failing to meet pension contribution requirements. Beyond financial penalties, errors in payroll can lead to employee dissatisfaction and a loss of trust. For any employees who are Universal Credit claimants, late RTI submissions can cause serious errors in their benefit calculations, leading to underpayments or overpayments.
