Our Process

Fergus Neilson specializes in delivering a payroll service which is as simple to operate as possible, whilst complying with all regulations.

Here’s an overview of our process:

Step 1: Background

We will have discussions with you to establish your requirements and whether or not you are registered with HM Revenue & Customs under PAYE. (If not we will undertake this for you) A questionnaire and quotation will be issued

Step 2: Documents

Once we have established the specifics of the payroll, all the necessary documents will be sent to you including a schedule with the names of all current employees

Step 3: The Pay Run

You return the schedule back to us having entered the relevant information against each name. This could be hours worked, increase in salary, notification of sickness etc.

We process the payroll and send out reports including a bacs or cheque listing and copy payslips. Payslips can be posted direct to the employees or in a batch to head office for distribution. Payment of net salaries can be made into employees’ bank accounts on the nominated day if so required.

The data is then backed up ready to process the next pay period

Step 4: Ongoing

As nominated Agents, we receive notification direct from HM Revenue & Customs telling us about any changes affecting the employees. This could be change of tax code, start of student loan deductions, notification of national insurance numbers, attachment of earnings and much more. Employee records are then updated accordingly.

As a member of the IPP (Institute of Payroll Professionals) we are notified in advance of any impending changes to government legislation so we in turn can keep you, our clients up to date.
We will communicate regularly and pass on any information of which you the employer needs to be aware.

Unlimited help and advice is always available as part of our comprehensive service
