We like to deliver all aspects of the service that you need, but with options that can be tailored to your needs. You can choose how to engage with us.
Payroll set up and processing at each pay run
Including all types of pay and benefits, whether they are the same each time (salary) or variable. Regular, overtime and variable pay.
Weekly, fortnightly, 4-weekly, or monthly payroll processing, or any combination.
Calculating standard PAYE deductions – pension contributions, student loans, all statutory responsibilities, including Statutory Sick Pay (SSP), Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP), Statutory Paternity Pay (SPP), Statutory Adoption Pay (SAP) and others.
3rd party deductions such as arrestments/attachment of earnings and Give as You Earn (GAYE). DCS can make payment to the appropriate agencies if you are using our BACS facilities.
A variety of payroll reports, and we can produce bespoke reports on request.
National Minimum Wage compliance and monitoring of changes due to apprenticeship progression or the age of employees.
Monitoring and management of auto-enrolment responsibilities. This includes opt-outs, when to opt people back in, and people newly triggering enrolment due to salary and hours worked.
Holiday pay administration
DCS can calculate holiday pay accrued for each worker and track leave taken (assuming that data is shared with us). There are several ways to calculate holiday entitlement/pay depending on the circumstances and choices made by the employer. Some of these include the average wage holiday rule or clients' own specific holiday rules (where entitlement is provided beyond the statutory minimum).
Effective holiday pay administration is important to workers because it means they know what they have used and have remaining, what they can carry over, and they can be sure that their leave or pay in leave has been properly handled.
Payslips and Report Portal
Employee payslips, P60s, and P45s are securely delivered via our payroll portal. DCS can also accommodate employees who have no internet access by sending them in alternative ways.
We can produce P11Ds for expenses if necessary. Many clients use our PBIKs service instead.
RTI filing at every pay run
DCS submits all statutory in-year and year-end HMRC reports, so your records stay accurate, and your business avoids penalties.
This is done through Real Time Information (RTI). It is an obligation of all employers for every employee at every pay run.
Management reports with every payroll
You receive informative reports at every pay run. You can also access your management reports anytime via our payroll portal.
Management reporting includes: A statement of the gross and net pay of all employees and any deductions. A list of payments to be made. Payroll reconciliation report showing payslip totals for PAYE, employer NI, pay rates used, holiday pay, number of employees and total paid.
You can also have: Holiday pay tracking, bespoke reports for management (job costing analysis, branch, site and department costings, ledger reports, employment trend analysis, pension reports).
HMRC enquiry management
We can take on the sometimes-time-consuming task of dealing with HMRC, DWP, and The Pensions Regulator on your behalf.
We can liaise with your accountant and auditors, at your request, and other regulators as appropriate. Anything that an in-house payroll department would do.
With a client's authority DCS can receive and action HMRC Coding Notices electronically direct from HMRC reducing the admin burden on the client.
We are signed up to the new HMRC electronic service to resolve PAYE disputes.
Access to documents at any time
Employers can see their payroll reports, and employees can access their payslips at any time through the portal.
