Save money and improve your payroll…top tips

Here are some top tips from our payroll department who not only provide outsourced payroll services but in-year health checks, audits and training and here are some things they have found…

• Annual employers allowance
  • Make sure you are making your claim if you are eligible
  • In the past this has been automatic but from last year an application had to be made
  • We have had a number of clients who have come to us having used other accountants and upon our healthcheck we have found claims not been made and we successfully backdated reclaims with a recent case of £4,000 returned to our client

• Furlough
  • With so many changes and HMRC reclaims and checks inevitable make sure your records are up to date and correct
  • We are finding common errors come from incorrect accounting for holiday days, notice period and furlough period.

• Cloud systems
  • Using a cloud platform allows your staff to access their payroll records and update details without the administrative burden falling on your company
  • Add on apps are now widely available enabling your payroll systems to work alongside HR for example
    • Holiday planners, shift planning, training records and many other HR management tools
• Healthcheck
  • Whether you run an in house payroll or outsource there can be lots gained from a periodic  healthcheck
    • Recommendations on systems to ensure the best reliability and efficiency
    • Compliance recommendations
    • Staff training
    • Observations
• Salary sacrifice
  • This can be a good system if operated correctly
  • Often clients shy away from this area
    • for many clients this can be a money saving tool to benefit employees and the company and manage payroll annual rises whilst meeting employee expectations
