Payroll needn ’ t be taxing …

Teamwork – Tracey Courtley , left , and Lauren Gleaves of McBrides Payroll Bureau Services have worked together for 17 years .

Payroll management can be a timeconsuming task but it ’ s a process that ’ s vitally important to get right – you want your staff to be paid on time and you also want to be up to date with tax , national insurance contributions and auto-enrolment pension liabilities .

There ’ s much to think about when it comes to payroll but having the right knowledge and software – or cloud platform – is a great starting point .
Outsourcing your payroll is an option and enables you to free up your time to focus on running your business and getting your product or service out to your customers or clients .
While larger businesses can sustain the cost of running an in-house payroll department , if your business has fewer than 50 employees , there is a good chance that outsourcing your payroll operations could be a cheaper and more practical alternative . You won ’ t have wages or costs connected to recruitment and overheads to think about .
Outsourced payroll experts also know the ins and outs of payroll and other related laws and regulations – which now include the General Data Protection Regulation ( GDPR ), auto-enrolment pension rules and Real Time Information – so they can take these pressures away and manage them for you . They can also create management reports , which are useful for board and management meetings .
Sensitive data is held securely and safely , and you ’ ll also have the peace of mind that a year-round reliable service , unaffected by holidays and staff illness , brings .
It ’ s easy to make errors when you ’ re feeling stretched , but payroll mistakes can cause problems for employees and with HMRC . So , if payroll processing is becoming a burden , do investigate outsourcing the function . We are very happy to talk you through your options .
Tracey Courtley and Lauren Gleaves at Hartlepool-based McBrides Payroll Bureau Services have worked together for the past 17 years and can handle all sorts of payroll requirements , from single director upwards .
