How We Run Your Payroll
Controls & Sign-off

Weekly or monthly, we operate to clear cut-offs with four-eyes checks, exception handling and audit trails. Variations (overtime, allowances, bonuses, deductions) are applied accurately, with a documented sign-off before payslips are released.

Pay Calendars & Cut-offs

+
-

We agree a pay calendar with submission cut-offs (e.g., Tuesdays 12:00). Late changes are flagged as exceptions and, if approved, included in a controlled re-run with a clear audit note.

Calendars include pay dates, RTI filing windows, pension upload days and bank-holiday adjustments to avoid missed deadlines.

Inputs & Data Validation

+
-

We accept timesheets, rota exports and pay change files. Files are validated for missing NI numbers, tax codes, duplicate entries, and out-of-range hours/rates before processing.

Any anomalies generate an exceptions list for your approval, keeping the run clean and auditable.

Variations & Adjustments

+
-

Overtime, shift premiums, allowances, salary changes, advances and deductions are applied against agreed rules. Back-pay and pro-ratas are handled with clear payslip narratives.

Statutory elements (SSP, SMP, SPP, SHPP) are computed correctly with evidence checks logged.

Quality Checks & Sign-off

+
-

We run four-eyes QA (variances vs last period, net/gross deltas, headcount changes) and provide a pre-pay pack for approval. No payslips are released until sign-off is received.

After approval, payslips are issued and RTI is filed on time, with a filing receipt stored in your audit trail.

Outputs, Journals & RTI

+
-

We produce e-payslips, P45/P60 when applicable, payroll journals (CSV) for your accounts package, and provider-ready pension files. RTI FPS/EPS are submitted within the agreed window.

All documents and receipts are archived with versioning for easy retrieval during audits.
