Recruiting a payroll specialist for your practice.
For practices running payroll for many clients, or bureau work that needs more hands each pay day.
What we test
Every payroll specialist we put forward sits a practical test set for this work, reviewed by a qualified accountant. It covers:
- Payroll run with starters, leavers and statutory pay
- Auto-enrolment assessment
Typical work they’ll do for you
- Weekly and monthly payroll runs
- RTI submissions prepared for your approval
- Pension auto-enrolment assessments and contributions
- Statutory payments, including SSP and SMP
- P60s and P11D support
- CIS deductions and returns for construction clients, prepared for review
They prepare; your team reviews and signs off. They can’t act as your HMRC agent or sign off accounts or audits.
