Start paying your workers for only £1.50 per monthly payslip or 46p per weekly payslip

Our guarantee: You don’t start paying until you are 100% satisfied.

How are your prices so low?
Quite simply, automation saves you money. Traditional payroll and outsource payroll service(s) are manually operated and therefore costly. We use the latest technology to run payroll in the cloud – Robotic Payroll Automation (RPA).

What do we offer?
You get HMRC recognised payroll, pension auto-enrolment, holiday pay (the law on holiday pay changed as of 6 April 2020), timesheets, and a free app for every employee.

How we are different?
Our system works in real-time and changes are immediately visible, and employees can make their own corrections. That means you don’t have to e-mail spreadsheets to your accountant or bureau and wait days or weeks for a response, which may then need correcting.

    FAQ outsource payroll service

    What makes paiyroll® different?

    Our automation means you get the lowest price. Because Live payslips can be viewed by employees before payday, this catches most errors which is another benefit of automation.

    How do I know if paiyroll® can process payroll correctly?

    We are recognised by HMRC. Our company appears on GOV.UK here towards the bottom of the page in the ‘p’ section.

    Does paiyroll® implement holiday pay?

    Yes using the holiday pay option, we are one of the only providers to automatically support the new 52-week holiday pay law that was introduced in April 2020. This means you can no longer use 12.07% rolled-up holiday pay. Any workers with regular variable pay like overtime or commission must be processed using the new 52-week pay reference period.

    Is auto-enrolment included in paiyroll®?

    Yes, we can work with any pension provider.

    Can I include payroll benefits?

    We support any type of non-cash benefits Benefits In Kind (BIK).

    After I make a change, how long does it take to process?

    Changes are processed using RPA and immediately available – there is no delay.

    Can paiyroll® e-mail payslips?

    Sorry, but just like your bank or building society would never ever e-mail you a statement, we don’t e-mail payslips. E-mailed payslips are not secure and don’t meet GDPR requirements. See more in our blog here.

    Can I pay using my own bank?

    Yes, we can provide the relevant BACS or FPS (Faster Payment Service) files for your own bank – just tell us which one. This is like online banking, but you upload the payments in one go. You save more money as you don’t need to pay us for something you can do with your own banking for less.

    What timesheets does paiyroll® support?

    Our Timesheet option supports hourly, daily, weekly, and piece-rate (up to 3 different rates). Employees fill out a timesheet on their phones and are routed to managers for approval. Once approved, we automatically include these into the payroll and they are immediately visible on the employee’s Live payslip.

    Can I only switch to your outsource payroll service in April i.e. the start of the tax year?

    No, we can import your data at any time of the year

    How do I move to your service and how long does it take?

    We have a number of automated setup and import options. We can use an HMRC FPS file, Sage or Xero spreadsheets, or a P11. Normally we can complete an import in a few hours. If your payroll is complex, then it may take a little longer. We recommend at least 1 parallel run.

    Is it complicated to switch payroll?

    No, we take care of everything. There is very little for you to do other than provide us with the old data.

    Are there any other fees?

    No, none!

    Do I need any software?

    No, we are 100% cloud-based and you access our service from any device and with any browser.

    Am I tied into a long-term contract?

    No, you are free to leave at any time and you only need to pay for any payroll processed in the month.

    What happens with tax codes?

    We automatically pick those up from HMRC and apply them to the relevant employees.

    What about pay queries?

    Employees can use the app to answer questions in the Knowledgebase. It contains links to HMRC to answer tax code queries. They can also use Pay query to automatically compare any 2 payslips – see here.

    I am an accountant, can I use your outsource payroll service for my clients?

    Yes, see please contact us.

    How will I know if HMRC has been informed?

    When you approve payroll, we send the required data to HMRC using RTI. You will always have the digital receipt which looks like this:

    payroll service HMRC RTI receipt
    HMRC receipt

    How do my employees get pay documents?

    We don’t send payslips by post. All payslips, P60s, and P45s can be viewed online, downloaded, or printed from any device (phone, tablet, or desktop).
