Payroll

As an employer it is your responsibility to calculate and deduct taxes from your employees and pay them over to HM Revenue & Customs, but running your own payroll can be time consuming and, with ever-changing government legislation, a minefield.

Outsourcing it to Business Support gives you complete confidentiality and allows you to concentrate on your core business activities.

Naturally, all our payroll is computerised and we offer a complete service:

• issuing you with payslips and pay envelopes;
• paying the wages/salaries directly into your employees' bank accounts;
• providing you with a weekly and/or monthly payroll summary;
• advising you each month of the amount to be paid over to HM Revenue & Customs and sending/monitoring these payments on your behalf;
• dealing with general PAYE/employment enquiries;
• completing SSP and SMP records on your behalf;
• completing all routine forms as issued by the various government departments/agencies;
• completing and submitting the End of Year Returns etc. etc.

Although Business Support would not become directly involved in the more technical aspects of employment law (such as writing contracts of employment, advising in disputes or, ultimately, defending a case at an Employment Tribunal) we are able to refer you to HR and employment specialists.

Again, prevention is better than cure and time spent with a consultant before you take any action can, ultimately, save you a great deal of time and money.

Employment legislation is constantly changing but with Business Support you are automatically kept up to date with changes in allowances, tax bands, national minimum wage rates etc. and should the situation arise where you have to make redundant, or dismiss, staff then you have access to your own employment specialist who will give you a considered opinion and advise you accordingly.
