Security payslips

The security payslips we use are pressure sealed and have a disruptive pattern to obscure the contents, access is gained by removing three perforated strips. The name and address is on the outside and it is suitable for posting out. A charge is made for each payslip produced.

Post to employee

We post out security payslips by first class mail on the day of processing directly to each employees home address. File copy payslips are included in the pack of reports sent to you for your or your clients records. A charge is made for both the security payslip and the posting service. The service applies to all the employees within a pay run; we are unable to separate out individual employees for this option.

BACS payments

BACS payments for your clients employees are electronically transmitted on the day of processing for payment into the employees bank account. Due to bank processing times the payment will take three working days to arrive in the employees accounts; if, for example, they are transmitted on a Wednesday they will be in the accounts on the Friday. The payments can be scheduled for up to thirty one days ahead. A BACS facility will need to be setup with your clients bank; we can help with this, and normally takes around three weeks. We charge a yearly fee to cover our software licence fees and a per employee payment charge.

Post out to client

In addition to posting payslips to employees we can also post to your client the original copies of their payroll management reports, including a letter or compliments slip if provided by you, to your client for every run. We are usually asked for this service when a client's pay details don't change from run to run but we are happy to do it for any or all of your clients.

E-file year end

Small employers do not have to e-file their year end; it can still be done by paper and handed in to your clients local tax office. To encourage small employers (less than 50 employees) HMRC make an incentive payment each year to every small employer that e-files; we charge one third of this payment per client for e-filing their year end when we process less than 10 clients. When it is mandatory to e-file or we process more than 10 clients for you we make no extra charge.
