Why outsource your hospitality payroll? 

Outsourcing hospitality payroll saves you time and gives you access to specialist support. It helps keep your payroll accurate and compliant even when hours, staffing levels and pay arrangements change.

Get hours back

Outsourcing payroll gives valuable time back to your team. We manage changing hours, overtime and new starters, so you can focus on running the business.

 

Cut payroll admin

We take care of payroll admin that slows you down. We manage calculations, deadlines and reporting for you. So your team can spend more time on day-to-day operations.

Accurate, on-time pay

We make sure your employees get paid accurately and on time, every time. We handle salaries, deductions, tips, overtime and tax calculation, even when payroll changes.

 

Hospitality payroll for seasonal and casual Staff

Hospitality businesses often hire extra staff for busy seasons. We manage payroll for seasonal and casual hospitality staff. This includes summer holiday workers, Christmas temps and part-time staff who only work a few weeks each year. 

We pay seasonal staff with ease. We add new workers quickly, process their pay and remove them once their contract ends.

This keeps your records accurate and avoids confusion at year end. Whether you hire five or fifty extra staff, payroll stays simple and compliant

How do we make payroll support easier for teams?

We give employees secure online access to current and previous payslips, while managers have a dedicated payroll contact for questions and support.

This makes payroll easier for teams working across different shifts, departments or locations. Employees can access their own payslips when they need them.

Hospitality payroll FAQs

How easy is it to add new hires or remove seasonal staff?

New starters and leavers can be incorporated into your regular payroll process using the relevant employee information. This makes outsourced payroll particularly useful for hospitality businesses whose headcount changes frequently during busy and quiet periods.

Will outsourcing hospitality payroll save money compared with doing it in-house?

Outsourcing can reduce the staff time and administration required to run payroll internally, but whether it saves your business money depends on your current payroll costs and requirements. When comparing the two, consider the cost of payroll software and staff time as well as the time spent processing changes, producing reports, managing payslips and dealing with payroll queries.

How difficult is it to switch payroll providers?

Switching requires your existing payroll information and employee records to be transferred and checked before the new service begins. dhpayroll can guide you through the information required for setup so there is a clear handover from your existing payroll process.

Can you process employees who have different pay rates for different roles?

Yes. Where an employee works different roles at different agreed rates, the relevant hours and rates can be supplied separately and processed within the same payroll period.

Can you process employees whose hours change every week?

Yes. We can process variable hours for each payroll period, making the service suitable for hospitality businesses with changing rotas, casual employees and other variable working patterns.
