Payroll & Workplace Pension Administration
Our Stoke-on-Trent team provides complete payroll and pension administration for employers across Staffordshire. We process wages accurately every pay period, calculating PAYE, National Insurance, student loans, and statutory payments including SSP, SMP, and SPP. Real Time Information submissions go to HMRC on time, and employees receive professional payslips by email or post. We handle workplace pension auto-enrolment, including assessments, re-enrolment cycles, and declaration of compliance. Director payroll receives particular attention, balancing salary and dividends for tax efficiency while maintaining pension contribution records. Year-end tasks including P60s, P11Ds, and benefits reporting are managed seamlessly, keeping your business compliant and your staff paid correctly.

Frequently asked questions
What is auto-enrolment for pensions?
Auto-enrolment requires employers to automatically enrol eligible workers into a workplace pension scheme and make contributions. Employees aged 22 to state pension age earning over £10,000 per year must be enrolled. Minimum contributions are 8% of qualifying earnings (3% employer, 5% employee).
What is Real Time Information (RTI)?
RTI requires employers to report PAYE information to HMRC on or before each payday, rather than at year end. This includes employee pay, tax, and National Insurance deductions. Failure to submit on time can result in penalties.
What statutory payments do I need to know about?
Statutory payments include Statutory Sick Pay (SSP), Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP), Statutory Paternity Pay (SPP), and Statutory Parental Bereavement Pay. Each has specific eligibility criteria and rates set by HMRC which we track and apply automatically.
