How does outsourcing payroll work?

It is a very simple process. You just need to sign up with us for a free trial or contact us directly. We will then ask you to provide us with the information for your payroll online. That’s all you need to do. Payslips and reports are sent to your online secure system.

Should I outsource my payroll?

Yes, you definitely should. Business consultants have made it clear that outsourcing some of the non-core functions to professionals can be good for your business. It helps you save time and money, get expertise, ensure compliance with government regulations and make payroll processing safe and secure. Most importantly, you employ your resources on your central functions which allow you to generate more income as well as saving costs.

How much does it cost to outsource payroll?

With 1 employee in your company, dhPayroll is less than £15 per month. We work on a sliding scale so that you only pay for the work we do, and that helps you keep your costs to a minimum. Costs can be as little at £3 per payslip for larger companies with 50 or more employees. We can further reduce by tailoring costs if your payroll is weekly or you have more than 100 employees, so please contact us in any case for further information on the costs. We would be pleased to discuss your requirements and provide you with a quote.

Is outsourcing payroll cost-effective?

Yes, payroll outsourcing is a very cost-effective solution for your business. Think of all the time and money that is spent in calculating payroll in each period, printing, signing and distributing payslips and making payments, software maintenance, keeping up with changes in tax rates and other training issues, recruiting and training payroll staff, along with premises and other IT costs associated with internal payroll staff. Outsourcing is definitely going to cost you less.

When should you outsource payroll?

You should outsource your payroll when you feel that the cost of getting it done in-house is more than outsourcing it to professionals, but also you would like the added benefits of security and simple effective software and secure online access to payslips and P60s for your team. It is best to focus on the core functions of your organisation because that is what drives your business and makes your company successful.

Christmas Opening Times

The Payroll Team at dhpayroll wish you a very Happy Christmas and all the best for 2023

Before we go off to enjoy the seasonal festivities, we need you to help us make sure that your payrolls have been processed so please find a few reminders below.

Our office will be closed from midday on Friday 23rd December until 8.30am on Tuesday 3rd January 2023

Emails & post received within this period will be processed upon our return.

We will do our very best to make sure that payrolls are processed promptly and returned to clients as quickly as possible, as we are aware that you will want to make sure you receive your payroll before the Christmas break. However please bear in mind that this is an extremely busy period, and the team will need the full 3 working days to process payrolls at peak times.

To make sure all clients are treated fairly we will not allow any clients to jump the queue. So please make sure that you allow sufficient time for us to process your payroll and return the documents to you (at least 3 working days). The team are happy to run payrolls early in the month to help clients avoid the busy periods.

If we send your BACS payments you will have received an email to confirm processing dates, please make sure that you check these dates, and make sure that the payroll information is sent in in line with the December schedule.

With all the reminders out of the way, the Team at David Howard hope you all enjoy the festive season and look forward to working with you in 2023.
