Our services

CIS

CIS Payroll

The Construction Industry Scheme governs how contractors pay self-employed subcontractors. Before a subcontractor is paid, they are verified with HMRC, and HMRC returns the deduction rate that applies to them. We handle that verification, apply the correct deduction to the labour element of the payment, and report it to HMRC on the monthly return.

What's included

• HMRC verification of every subcontractor before their first payment
• Deductions applied to the labour element, with materials and qualifying costs excluded
• Monthly CIS returns submitted to HMRC
• Payment and deduction statements issued to each subcontractor
• Records kept so figures can be evidenced if HMRC asks

PAYE

PAYE Umbrella Employment

Umbrella employment means the worker is employed, rather than self-employed. We become the employer, run pay through PAYE, and deduct income tax and National Insurance in the normal way. The worker gets statutory employment rights, including holiday entitlement and assessment for a workplace pension, while moving between assignments and sites.

What's included

• Employment contract issued before work starts
• Right-to-work checks completed before the first day
• PAYE income tax and National Insurance deducted and reported to HMRC
• Statutory holiday entitlement administered
• Automatic enrolment assessment for a workplace pension
• An itemised payslip every pay period

Agency

Agency Payroll Support

You place the worker. We run everything that happens after that. Timesheets come in, we process them, workers get paid, and you get one point of contact instead of a queue of payroll questions. Your consultants go back to filling roles.

What's included

• Weekly processing of timesheets for your placed workers
• Worker onboarding, including right-to-work documents
• Payments and payslips issued directly to workers
• Worker payroll queries handled by us, not by your consultants
• A named contact who knows your account

Weekly

Weekly Payroll Processing & Digital Payslips

Construction runs on weekly pay, so that is how we run. Timesheets come in against a weekly cut-off, we check them, and payment goes out on the same day each week. Payslips are issued digitally, so a worker can open one on a phone from the site rather than waiting for the post.

What's included

• Timesheets in by Wednesday, pay cleared by 5pm Friday
• Timesheets checked before processing, with queries raised before payday
• Itemised digital payslips, available the same day payment is made
• Payslip history stored and retrievable
• A route to query a figure and get an answer from a person

Holiday

Holiday Pay Administration

Employed workers build up statutory paid holiday, currently a minimum of 5.6 weeks a year, adjusted for the hours they work. In construction, where hours are irregular and assignments are short, working that out is fiddly. We calculate it, track it and pay it, and we show the worker exactly where it appears on their payslip.

What's included

• Holiday entitlement calculated for irregular and part-year working patterns
• Accrual tracked and visible to the worker
• Holiday pay processed through the normal pay run
• Payslips showing how holiday pay has been treated
• Records kept for each employee

Pension

Workplace Pension Auto-Enrolment

Employers must assess their employees for automatic enrolment into a workplace pension and enrol everyone who qualifies on the age and earnings criteria set by the government. We do the assessment, handle the enrolment, deduct and pay across contributions, and process opt-outs correctly, including the refund where an opt-out is made in time.

What's included

• Assessment of every employee at each pay run
• Enrolment of qualifying employees and the statutory communications that go with it
• Employee and employer contributions deducted and paid to the scheme
• Opt-outs processed, with refunds where the opt-out is made within the statutory window
• Re-enrolment handled on the statutory cycle

Support

Employer administration and support

Payroll is never only payroll. There is the onboarding pack, the right-to-work check, the contract, the reference request, the query about a deduction from three weeks ago. Left alone, that work lands on whoever is least busy, which usually means it lands late.

We take it on as part of the service. Worker documents are collected and stored securely. Contracts are issued before work starts. Payroll queries come to us rather than to your consultants or your site manager. Records are kept in order, so if anyone needs to evidence a payment later, it can be found.

You get one number to call and one team that knows your account.
