Payroll

Harwood Hutton’s BACS-approved payroll bureau runs large and often complex payrolls on behalf of scores of businesses, some with hundreds of employees.

We can run weekly or monthly and we pride ourselves on a customised and flexible service.

We can submit payroll-related transactions through the BACS service on behalf of third parties securely, ensuring employees and HMRC are paid on time.

Unlike other bureaux, we do not require advance payment into our client account.

We can provide electronic payslips, which allow historic information, including the year-end returns and P60s, to be stored online for both employees and employers to access the review for up to seven years.

Tax Expertise

Our in-house tax specialists are ready to deal with any queries you may have on technical matters, not just the immediate compliance requirements of the payroll.

Our tax services are available for UK and international businesses and for individual workers.

Auto Enrolment

Auto Enrolment is a legal requirement. Getting it wrong can lead to heavy fines, which will also hurt your company’s reputation.

Harwood Hutton can provide a full AE service, from assessing your workforce, calculating contributions to sending reports to your pension provider.

Let Harwood Hutton manage your pension auto-enrolment and we will:

  • Help you create a plan that ensures you meet your obligations by your ‘staging date’
  • Help you put a suitable pension scheme in place with a partner IFA
  • Automatically enrol eligible job holders and manage opt-ins/opt-outs
  • Periodically re-enrol eligible jobholders who are not in a qualifying pension scheme
  • Provide your pension provider with worker details and arrange for contributions to be paid to them
  • Keep your people informed with details of their pension scheme membership, contributions and deductions
  • Register your company with The Pension Regulator and work with the Regulator to ensure your auto-enrolment processes remain up to date
  • Help you analyse the true cost of auto-enrolment, hold records and carry out regular monitoring checks

Gender Pay Gap Reporting

Any organisation that has 250 or more employees must publish and report specific figures about their gender pay gap – the difference between the average earnings of men and women.

Payroll data is at the heart of this reporting requirement and Harwood Hutton can help with the ‘snapshot’ calculations you will require.

    Adam Fawsitt, Director, FHT Limited
  • We moved to Harwood Hutton as they delivered a succinct and professional proposal. If anything, we have been more impressed post-move. They are a fantastic company to work with. They do truly differentiate. They have the skills and capabilities of a mega firm but with a personal service.
