Does your Accountant do your payroll?

Did you know that they do not have to?

Sometimes it makes more business sense to have an independant provider for your payroll service.

If you want to find out more.. send me a message and i will get back to you.

If i think you are better staying where you are, i will tell you, no point moving if you dont need to.

Well the government have confirmed that the national minimum wage is going up from April 2024.

The question is do you know how much you should be paid now and in April.

So for people that are NOT apprentices and over the age of 23, you should already be getting paid £10.42 per hour. From April 2024 you should be getting £11.44 per hour as a MINIMUM.

For people that NOT apprentices and aged 21 or 22, you should already be getting paid £10.18 per hour. From April 2024 you should be getting £11.44 per hour as a MINIMUM.

If you get paid a Salary for doing your job, the minimum wage still applies...if you are NOT an apprentice and work more than 40 hours a week and your salary is less than £1806.13 a month, you are not being paid the minimum wage.

You need to speak to your employer and let them know. If you are in any doubt then speak ACAS https://www.acas.org.uk/ who will advise you further.

Have you heard of Use it or Lose it?

Your employer does not have to let you carry annual leave forward into next year unless there are special rules/circumstances in place.

So time to get checking how much leave you have left and how much you need to take before your holiday year ends.

They also do not have to pay you for any that you do not take, so don't lose out, check today.

National Minimum Wage is increasing to at least £11 per hour from April 2024. (For over 23 year olds)

That means all hours worked and paid holiday, has to be paid at least at this rate if not more.

Now is the time to check you are receiving the right rate for this year for your circumstances.

Employers - unsure? I can help you with your compliance. Contact me.

Did you know that everyone is entitled to join a company pension scheme? Just because they might not earn enough or be old enough to be autoenroled, doesn"t mean they do not have the right to join.

Happy National Payroll Week 2023.

In celebration I thought I would write an ode.

A Ode to the Payroller

We handle things quietly, competently without lots of drama,
always concentrating on where to put that next comma.
Each year we learn new stuff, to keep things just so,
SBL, ShPP, Furlough, FreePorts, and levy’s also.
We get busy each month, as everyone needs paying,
the last Friday of the month, always seems to be looming.
So if you come for a chat on the last working Thursday,
its not the time to tell us about your trip off to Herne Bay.
We really do care about the cats, dogs and your new kitchen floor,
just not as much about getting this payroll out the door!

Not all Heroes wear capes, happy National Payroll Week.

Well today is the official first day of Payroll Matters Ltd and I thought I would share with you why I am doing this.

There is something very stable about getting a monthly paycheque and being able to pay the mortgage! But something very frustrating about not being able to quite do things how you want to do them.

I believe that every payroll matters, regardless of the size, each one is unique and important. Therefore each one deserves to be delivered right first time, every time.

I set up Payroll Matters Ltd to do just that, deliver payroll services, right first time, every time. I know its a big, bold statement, but working with my clients I can achieve this.
