The downside of in-house payroll processing

If you choose to run payroll in-house, you will need to:

• Use approved software
• Set up payroll
• Calculate each employee's wages
• Calculate pay for time not worked (e.g. sickness, holidays, maternity leave)
• Manage pensions, bonuses, benefits and other payroll deductions
• Report tax (PAYE) via payroll

Even for a small organisation, this can amount to a lot of work.

Accuracy and dependability are also paramount. Payroll can be onerous for a non-specialist to handle, leading to wasted time and potential mistakes. In turn, this can damage your relationship with HMRC and your own employees alike. Similarly, if payroll is the sole responsibility of someone on your staff, you will have to work out what to do when they are off sick or on annual leave. Therefore, many businesses outsource their payroll function to a specialist provider such as their accountant.
