Anomaly checking earns its keep

No payroll training and I have never missed an RTI deadline, and a pay run for twelve people takes about ten minutes. No complaints so far.

Pros

No payroll training and I have never missed an RTI deadline.

Cons

Not enough depth if you run multiple pay frequencies.

Anomaly checking earns its keep

Payslips self serve so nobody emails me asking for one, and auto enrolment assessment happens without me remembering to do it. No complaints so far.

Pros

Payslips self serve so nobody emails me asking for one.

Cons

CIS subcontractors are not handled here, which confused us at first.

Fine until you need complexity

The five employee inclusion means the real cost is higher than the headline. Corrections to a previous period are more awkward than they should be. Looking at alternatives.

Pros

Copilot caught a net pay that had moved 40 percent before I committed.

Cons

The five employee inclusion means the real cost is higher than the headline.

Copilot caught a net pay that had moved 40 percent before I committed. That said, reporting is basic if your accountant wants detail and corrections to a previous period are more awkward than they should be.

Pros

Copilot caught a net pay that had moved 40 percent before I committed.

Cons

Reporting is basic if your accountant wants detail.
