Simple payroll, does the job

A pay run for twelve people takes about ten minutes. Only real gripe is that reporting is basic if your accountant wants detail.

Simple payroll, does the job

HMRC notices come straight into the pay run, and no payroll training and I have never missed an RTI deadline. No complaints so far.

Pros

HMRC notices come straight into the pay run.

Cons

Reporting is basic if your accountant wants detail.

Simple payroll, does the job

Payslips self serve so nobody emails me asking for one, and HMRC notices come straight into the pay run. No complaints so far.

Pros

Payslips self serve so nobody emails me asking for one.

Cons

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

Good for a small team

Not enough depth if you run multiple pay frequencies, and reporting is basic if your accountant wants detail. No payroll training and I have never missed an RTI deadline, which is about the only positive.

Pros

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

Cons

Not enough depth if you run multiple pay frequencies.

Pay run takes ten minutes now

A pay run for twelve people takes about ten minutes, and Copilot caught a net pay that had moved 40 percent before I committed. Not enough depth if you run multiple pay frequencies, but we live with it.

Pros

A pay run for twelve people takes about ten minutes.

Cons

Not enough depth if you run multiple pay frequencies.

Auto enrolment finally stopped worrying me

Payslips self serve so nobody emails me asking for one. That said, not enough depth if you run multiple pay frequencies and the five employee inclusion means the real cost is higher than the headline.

Pros

Payslips self serve so nobody emails me asking for one.

Cons

Not enough depth if you run multiple pay frequencies.
