Let's start a new payroll
So you're paying employees for the first time. It can seem daunting but don't worry we will make the whole process painless.
​
Below is a step by step guide of how we'll get your new payroll running - painlessly.
01
Register as an employer with HMRC.
Register as an employer with HMRC. Don't worry — we'll guide you through exactly what's needed and check it's been set up correctly before we process your first payroll. This is included in the one-off setup fee.
02
Decide how often you want to pay employees.
For example monthly or weekly?
03
Are your staff going to be salaried or hourly?
.
04
Do you need a pension scheme setup.
.
05
Arrange how we’ll share details on each payroll e.g. hours worked, sick days, etc
.
06
Now we run your first payroll.
We'll provide the exact amounts to pay each employee. To make this even easier, we can provide a BACS payment file — a single file you upload to your bank to pay all employees in one step, rather than making individual transfers.
07
Payslips will be sent electronically directly to your employees.
We can send these as Painless Payroll or via your email address.
08
Your payroll is now up and running!
Welcome to your new painless payroll. Most new payrolls are fully up and running within 3 working days. And from here on, we handle everything. You just tell us who's been paid what, and we do the rest.
