PAYE payroll

Your payroll, run for you.

What we handle

Gross-to-net calculations for every employee, on weekly, fortnightly, four-weekly or monthly cycles.

Statutory payments

Statutory sick, maternity, paternity, adoption and shared parental pay calculated correctly.

Your responsibilities as the employer

With PAYE payroll you remain the employer. You keep the employment contracts, right to work checks and the relationship with your staff, and you send us accurate hours and pay information on time. We run the payroll and the HMRC reporting on your behalf. If you would rather we became the employer, see PEO solutions.

When direct PAYE beats umbrella employment

ExampleA recruitment agency with long-term temps

An agency places 40 temporary workers who stay with the same clients for months. It wants to employ them directly so it controls their terms and their experience.

Agency PAYE, with us running the payroll, keeps the workers on the agency's own books while the processing is handled for them.

ExampleAn employer with a permanent team

A business with 25 permanent staff has no reason to use an umbrella company. Its employees belong on its own payroll, which we can run on a monthly cycle.

Umbrella employment usually suits contractors moving between agency assignments. Our comparison page sets out when each model fits.
