Frequently asked questions
-
A payroll service provider is a company or organisation that takes care of payroll management and administration on behalf of another business.
Payroll providers – like IRIS Payroll Services, for example – ensure accurate payment of wages, handle tax and National Insurance contributions, and file necessary reports with HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC).
And because payroll service providers can run payroll in a more efficient and accurate way, they also save their clients time, ensure compliance with legislation, and reduce errors. -
Payroll service providers like IRIS can take care of almost any payroll-related task for you, including:
- Calculating employee wages and deductions
- Handling tax filings, such as PAYE and National Insurance (NI) contributions
- Issuing payslips to employees
- Managing pension contributions and statutory payments (e.g. sick pay or maternity leave)
- Filing RTI (Real-Time Information) reports with HMRC
- Ensuring regulatory compliance with UK payroll legislation
Payroll service providers use their specialist expertise to help businesses maintain compliance with payroll legislation.
Some payroll service providers offer specialist expertise; for example, IRIS Education Payroll Services offers outsourced payroll and pension services to schools and trusts in the UK. -
Whatever the size of your business or sector you operate in, if you employ people, you need to have a payroll solution in place.
While you can opt to manage your payroll in-house, outsourcing to a payroll service provider might be preferable for organisations like:
- Small businesses or startups without dedicated HR or finance teams
- Accountants and payroll professionals managing multiple clients
- Schools and single or multi-academy trusts handling staff wages
- UK-based employers with a global workforce to pay (and international legislation to comply with)
By outsourcing payroll, businesses can focus on growth and leave the payroll calculations and admin to the specialists. -
For many organisations, payroll outsourcing services are an ideal choice. Managed payroll services can simplify compliance, ensure accurate payments, and prevent costly errors.
But it’s not necessarily the right choice for every organisation. Some may prefer to manage their payroll in-house using HMRC payroll software.

Managing payroll, even for a single employee, can quickly become complex with taxes, deductions, and reporting requirements in the mix.
Outsourcing to professional payroll services can simplify the process, minimising errors and saving you valuable time – and when you’re growing a business, every hour counts.
For small business owners balancing multiple responsibilities, outsourcing payroll can also help you stay organised and stave off any compliance concerns.
