How Our Payroll Outsourcing Process Works
Free consultation and scope
Tell us what you want to hand over, your volumes and your deadlines. We confirm the scope and who does what.
Pilot batch
We run a small payroll first so you can check the output and the timing before we set up a regular schedule.
Prepare and raise queries
Anything unclear is raised through the agreed query process before the payroll is finalised.
Review and ongoing delivery
Finished work comes back with workings and notes. Your team reviews it, and we move to regular delivery once you're happy.
