Setting up and maintaining a PAYE & pension scheme can be a lot of work. You have an obligation to ensure that you are meeting HMRC standards when submitting your data and when paying your workers. At Avalon Payroll, we can assume almost all administration of your schemes.
To start paying your workers we will need the employment details – start date, name, address, national insurance information etc. There are no setup fees at Avalon Payroll so all you have to do is provide us with the details we ask for and we can take over from there. Should you wish for us to hold your data for you to be compliant with GDPR, then you should request it as early as possible so we can make sure that everything is retained and in proper order.
It should take one to three days to set up your company on our systems depending on the size of your company and the source material for your employee’s details.
Once your data has been fully entered into our system we are ready to pay your workers at your request. We will send a custom spreadsheet to you which you can use each week to send us the gross figures of your workers. We will calculate the tax and national insurance contributions accordingly and make sure the correct figures are paid and submitted with HMRC.
From this point, all you will have to do is send us your weekly or monthly spreadsheet with the gross pay and inform us of any new employees or changes to existing ones. We calculate all contributions across the PAYE & pension scheme and ensure all submissions adhere to HMRC legislation.
All payments must be received the day before payment at the very latest, or your wages may be subject to an extra charge to cover bank fees.
We can take charge of one of your pension portal accounts if that’s what you desire. We will keep all of your data and contributions HMRC & Pensions Regulator compliant using imported data from our accounts software. With auto-enrolment pensions being relatively new, it’s one of the things we try to keep a close eye on for incoming regulation changes so we can better prepare ourselves.
We completely remove the headache of managing your pension scheme yourself. You can, and should, check how it’s going whenever you like – we won’t take away your access to the portal.
If you are still unsure about anything, feel free to ask us a question in the contact form to the right.
