Payroll Services

The Book Monitor can process your payroll, whether it is paid on a weekly or monthly basis, and calculate your PAYE, National Insurance and any other liabilities, such as pension payments, childcare vouchers, employee loans, etc.  The Book Monitor will also deal with the Real Time Information (RTI) requirements, which are now obligatory for any company running PAYE.

All payroll year end returns, such as the P35, P14's & P60's and P11d's, are dealt with, along with ad-hoc forms such as P45's and P46's and everything is filed electronically with HMRC.

With Auto-enrolment pensions being obligatory The Book Monitor can also process your pension scheme requirements through your payroll and submit the relevant information to your payroll provider.  We aren't able to advise you on which pension scheme to use for your company, but we can put you in touch with a registered, financial advisor for help with this.
