Service
Payroll services for Scunthorpe employers
Fully managed payroll with RTI filing, pension auto enrolment and payslips delivered on schedule, every period.
Overview
Payroll explained
Payroll is unforgiving. It runs to a fixed date, staff notice immediately when it is wrong, and HMRC applies penalties when submissions are late. It is also the area where employment law, pensions and tax overlap most awkwardly.
We run payroll for employers across Scunthorpe from a handful of staff to sizeable shift-based workforces, taking on the filing obligations, the statutory calculations and the awkward mid-month changes.
Benefits
What you get from it
On time, every period
Weekly, fortnightly, four-weekly or monthly cycles run to an agreed calendar with cut-off dates you can plan around.
RTI handled
Full Payment Submissions and Employer Payment Summaries filed on or before payday, with the HMRC liability confirmed to you each period.
Auto enrolment managed
Assessment, postponement, opt-outs, re-enrolment and pension uploads to NEST, Smart Pension or your chosen provider.
Statutory pay calculated
SSP, SMP, SPP, holiday pay and the National Living Wage checked properly rather than approximated.

Problems solved
Issues we see most often
Late RTI penalties
Filing after payday triggers penalties that escalate with the size of the payroll. A managed calendar removes the risk.
Holiday pay for variable hours
Getting the reference period wrong is one of the most common causes of employment claims in the trades.
Pension re-enrolment missed
The three-yearly re-enrolment duty and declaration of compliance catch out a lot of small employers.

Local
In Scunthorpe and North Lincolnshire
Shift patterns, overtime and weekly pay are standard in Scunthorpe's manufacturing and engineering base. We are used to payrolls where hours change every week rather than sitting on a fixed salary run.
FAQs
Payroll questions
Typically two working days before payday for a standard payroll. We agree the exact cut-off with you at setup and hold to it.
