Payroll continuity

Paying your team on time

Payroll continuity is vital in these troubled and unprecedented times. One of the major concerns for business is ensuring the resilience of payments to all their employees.

We totally understand that many businesses and accountancy firms rely on a single individual to process their payroll. Therefore, employers have to hope that staff holidays aren’t at times that disrupt this process.  In addition, that staff illness does not interrupt the work.

There is always the potential for staff to be sick or have to provide care for their own families; often at very short notice. This is where your payroll continuity planning is key to ensuring continuity.

Our sister company, Payroll Scotland, employs a large experienced team of staff who understand payroll processing for companies of 1 – 500+ employees.  We work alongside you to ensure that you meet deadlines  for HMRC and pensions reporting.  Consequently helping you to meet your statutory obligations continually, and your staff continue to be paid.

Payroll continuity

We happily provide short term payroll cover for your business should you find yourself without these skills temporarily.

We can operate most payroll software almost immediately, and as a result our service will be to the same high quality that all our clients receive.

Along with this, we ensure full client confidentiality as part of everything we do.

We are experienced in delivering payroll contingency services to many clients.  Hence we recently rescued a company on the day before Christmas Eve when their payroll provider failed to deliver.  But we were able to get them up and running and paid – accurately and completely – before the staff left the next day.  As a result the staff were none the wiser.
