Frequently asked questions
-
UK companies increasingly rely on outsourced payroll providers to eliminate the complexity and cost of running payroll in-house. The key benefits of payroll outsourcing in the United Kingdom include:
- Ensuring full compliance with over 200 pieces of UK payroll legislation
- Reducing overheads by removing the need for internal payroll teams and software
- Streamlining payroll operations and avoiding costly errors
- Benefiting from the cost-effectiveness of outsourcing payroll over the long term -
One significant advantage of outsourced payroll services is the elimination of a single point of failure. Relying on one individual (or even a small team of people) to manage payroll creates potential risks, especially if they are unavailable due to holidays or illness. After all, payroll is a critical function that demands consistency and accuracy – you can’t afford to put it off until everyone’s back in the office.
A fully managed payroll service offers seamless continuity, ensuring this essential task is handled reliably without interruptions or added stress to your business. -
When selecting a payroll outsourcing company, it's essential to assess whether they can meet your unique payroll needs. Here are key considerations when comparing outsourced payroll services:
- Do they have experience running payroll for your industry?
- Can they handle specialised requirements like:
- Local Government Pension Schemes (LGPS)
- NHS and Teachers' Pensions
- Expatriate payroll
- Construction Industry Scheme (CIS)
- Tronc payroll
- Do they offer tailored UK payroll outsourcing services?
Some providers focus on specific sectors. For instance, we have a specialist team that supports schools and trusts, while IRIS Global Payroll Services handles global payroll outsourcing for international teams. -
