Before you pay anyone, you need to set up as an employer with HMRC. The steps are the same whether you hire one person or ten.
Before the first payday
- Register as an employer with HMRC
- Check the employee’s right to work in the UK
- Get employer’s liability insurance
- Collect a P45 or starter checklist
Each payday
- Run payroll and send a Full Payment Submission to HMRC on or before payday
- Give the employee a payslip
- Pay PAYE and National Insurance by the 22nd of the following month
Workplace pension
Most employees must be enrolled into a pension scheme, with contributions from you and from them. You also have to declare compliance to The Pensions Regulator.
We can run your payroll and handle the pension duties for you.
