PAYROLL FACT OF THE DAY!

According to a 5,000 year-old tablet, Ancient Egyptians were sometimes paid in beer.

Symbols were used with line scratches to indicate the amount of beer to be paid to each worker.

It’s National Payroll Week!

National Payroll Week is an entire week dedicated to shining a spotlight on payroll professionals and the impact payroll has on the workforce.

Payroll is often seen as “clicking a button” but there’s so much more to it than that! Payroll can involve:

✔️ Checking employee tax codes
✔️ Checking NI letters
✔️ Manual calculation of tax and NI
✔️ Calculating prorated salaries for starters & leavers
✔️ Automatic enrolment management
✔️ Pension calculations
✔️ Processing benefits
✔️ Completing P11D’s
✔️ Issuing payslips
✔️ Issuing P45’s
✔️ Calculating over/underpayments
✔️ Calculating statutory payments
✔️ Court order deductions
✔️ RTI reporting to HMRC
✔️ Arranging payment to HMRC
✔️ Arranging payments to employees

…and so much more!

Payroll legislation can change rapidly so professionals need to stay ahead of the changes. Incorrect pay can negatively affect employee morale, which is why payroll accuracy is so important.

Attention hospitality business owners!

Important changes are coming into force on 1st October 2024. The government are introducing a new piece of legislation called the Employment (Allocation of Tips) Act. The act will require all businesses to pass any tips received directly to employees. Companies where tipping is common practice (such as restaurants, hotels etc) will need to introduce a tipping policy.

Under the new legislation, organisations will be required to follow the updated code of practice for fair and transparent tip distribution. Whether you pay your tips through payroll, or operate an external tronc, it's important to familiarise yourselves with the changes and ensure you comply before 1st October.

If you'd like to discuss how this may affect your business, or how to process tips through payroll, then get in touch with us for more information/support.

We’re going to kick of the week with a pension horror story...

We recently took on a client who had been processing their payroll in-house for several years until their payroll admin relocated. They had an auto-enrolment scheme in place which they had recently switched over to a salary sacrifice scheme. The payroll admin had been processing the salary sacrifice scheme for 9 months until we took the payroll over.

The company sent us a copy of their pension upload file, but something didn’t quite add up. It turns out that the payroll admin had been uploading DOUBLE the employee contributions since the company had moved to a salary sacrifice scheme. Over the 9 months, this had cost the company over £80k in additional pension payments!

The previous admin hadn’t understood how the salary sacrifice scheme works, and had been uploading the total employee and employer contributions, then uploading the deductions from the employees salary on top of this amount, causing the employer to pay 1.5 times what they should have in contributions each month.

How did we fix it, I hear you ask?

We downloaded all the payments made to the pension provider for the past 9 months and recalculated what should have been paid for each employee. We contacted the pension company and requested that the amounts paid in for each employee were adjusted for each month and requested a refund of the overpaid amounts. The refund was processed 2-weeks later, and the company received *nearly* all of their overpayment back. (We weren’t able to get a refund for 4 employees who had left the scheme and the company already).

The moral of the story is to make sure whoever is processing your payroll understands each intricate detail, such as how to process your pension contributions.

Get in touch with us if you’d like any advice, information, or for a review of your current payroll processes.
