Who our payroll service in Bury is for
Payroll has to be right every time, because your staff rely on it. We run payroll for employers across Bury and Greater Manchester, from one director to small teams.
First-time employers. You are taking on your first employee and need payroll set up with HMRC.
Company directors. You pay yourself a salary through your limited company and want it planned alongside dividends.
Small teams. You have a handful of staff paid weekly, fortnightly or monthly.
Businesses with changing staff. Part-time or seasonal staff mean regular changes to hours and pay.
Employers new to pensions. You need auto-enrolment set up and your duties explained clearly.

More questions
Do I need payroll if I am the only director? If you pay yourself a salary from your company, it is usually run through payroll. We can set this up and plan your salary alongside dividends, so the two work together. It is a common arrangement for owner-managed companies, and our fees start from £15 a month for one employee.
What do I need to send you each pay period? Just the changes. That might be hours worked, overtime, new starters, leavers or anyone off sick. If nothing has changed, we run payroll as normal. We agree a simple routine with you at the start, so you know what to send and when.
Can you handle holiday pay and statutory pay? Yes. Holiday pay and statutory payments are part of our payroll service. We calculate them correctly and show them clearly on payslips. If you are unsure what an employee is entitled to, ask your team leader and they will explain the position before the next pay run.
Can I switch payroll provider part way through the tax year? Yes. We contact your current accountant or provider for the handover and carry on from where they left off. Your staff should not notice any change, other than perhaps a new look to their payslips. We check the records we receive before the first pay run.
