How Payroll Services for Recruitment Agencies Work
When you partner with Pearl Lemon Accountants, the payroll process becomes a simple, clear task. Our expert team uses advanced software to ensure accurate calculations and smooth payroll processing. Here’s how it works:
Payroll Processing for Contractors, Temporary, and Permanent Staff
Recruitment agencies have workers across different pay structures, from hourly wages to fixed salaries. For contractors, you may face the challenge of navigating IR35, which dictates the tax status of contractors. Our payroll services ensure that each worker is paid correctly according to their contract type, whether temporary or permanent while maintaining alignment with UK tax laws.
We integrate our payroll services with your existing recruitment CRM and timekeeping systems to eliminate errors and reduce administrative tasks. By automating calculations and syncing time data, we ensure your workers are paid accurately, every time.
Handling Regulation with IR35 and Auto-Enrolment Pensions
Alignment with UK employment laws is non-negotiable. IR35 affects contractors, determining whether they are considered employees for tax purposes. Our payroll services handle the complexities of IR35 standards, ensuring your contractors are taxed correctly. Additionally, we handle auto-enrolment pension schemes, ensuring that contributions are made accurately for both employees and employers.
As a recruitment agency in London, it’s crucial to stay compliant with these regulations to avoid penalties and keep your business running smoothly. Our payroll team keeps your payroll up to date with the latest legal requirements.
Detailed Reports for Transparency
We don’t just process your payroll—we provide you with detailed, real-time reports that keep you informed of every aspect of your payroll. These reports cover everything from tax liabilities to pension contributions, giving you a full overview of your payroll expenses. This transparency helps you track your costs and manage your cash flow more effectively.
Our reporting features also allow you to access historical data, simplifying your auditing process and making it easier to assess the financial health of your recruitment agency.
