Payroll services to power your business

What is payroll?

Payroll is the system that businesses use to calculate and administer employees’ salaries in accordance with a country’s legislation and local tax requirements. In the UK, the payroll process includes the following calculations:

1. Calculate the total gross pay, which includes the basic salary, any overtime, and bonuses.
2. Deduct national taxes and social security contributions.
3. Subtract any pension contributions and other predetermined deductions.
4. Determine the final net pay that will be disbursed to each employee.

Payroll accuracy and timeliness are non-negotiable, especially when navigating the complexities of HMRC regulations in the UK. Payroll software is essential for staying compliant and efficient, and ADP is here to help.

If you choose as a business to hand over every payroll process to a trusted outsourced provider like ADP, these are known as payroll managed services.

This transparency can benefit your operational efficiency and strategic decision-making as a result.
