Frequently asked questions about UK payroll

Do I need a PAYE scheme just to pay myself?
If you pay yourself a salary above the Lower Earnings Limit (£123 a week for 2025/26), or you pay anyone else, yes. Most directors run a small salary to use the personal allowance, which means a PAYE scheme is needed.

Every employer with eligible workers (aged 22 to State Pension age, earning over £10,000) must enrol them in a qualifying pension scheme and contribute. We assess each pay run, handle enrolments and opt-outs, and submit contributions to your chosen provider.

HMRC issues automatic penalties for late RTI submissions, starting at £100 a month for small employers and rising with headcount. Repeated lateness can also trigger an enquiry. We file on or before payday every time.

Yes. Every employee gets secure portal access where they can view current and historic payslips, P60s, and P45s. No more emailing PDFs around.

Usually within two weeks. We need your PAYE reference, employee records, year-to-date figures, and pension scheme details. The handover is timed around your next pay run to avoid disruption.
