Payroll Bureau
Handling your Payroll the Kennedys Accounting way
Do you have staff on payroll or are you about to start putting staff on to payroll?
If you’ve got employees then you have responsibilities, which includes adhering to a number of conditions, which includes, but is not limited to the National Minimum and Living wage, as well as the relevant employment law.
As an employer you need to provide accurate and regular pay slips for your employees, get set up for Pay As You Earn (PAYE) to tax their income and keep detailed records. On top of all that, you’ve got pensions, statutory leave and a range of other things to consider. It’s a lot of work, and there’s a lot that can go wrong if you’re not careful, which is why we are here to help at Kennedys Accounting.
Below is an overview of some of the areas which need to be considered:
PAYE
As an employer, it’s your responsibility to deduct Income Tax and National Insurance Contributions (NICs) from your employees’ salaries. You do this each time you pay them, and then pay the money to HMRC. You will need to understand what your employees’ tax codes mean, and the paperwork HMRC requires.
Benefits
If you’re providing any benefits to your employees, for example company cars or private medical insurance, this will also need to be reported to HMRC by way of a P11d, which Kennedys Accounting can prepare and submit on our specialised payroll software to get the details where they need to be.
Statutory Rights
UK Employees are entitled to a range of rights and benefits, including but not limited to:
- Statutory Sick Pay.
- Annual leave.
- Statutory Maternity, Paternity or Shared Parental Pay.
You can find out more about these kinds of rights on our Statutory Leave page.
Pensions
Employers now have to set up a “workplace pension” for any of their staff who qualify. In general, that means employees who:
- Are over 22 years old (and under the State Pension age).
- Earn above the pensions threshold
- Work within the UK or are based in the UK (even if they travel abroad for work).
Pensions are an important consideration for employers.
