What are the benefits of outsourcing payroll?

Outsourcing your payroll streamlines operations, reduces administrative burdens, ensures compliance with complex legislation, and minimises errors. It allows you to focus on your own business functions while giving you access to expert advice and support whenever you need it.

Costs

Save more than just time

Our outsourced solutions take the stress and complexity out of payroll, which involves many processes including updating personnel records, managing holiday pay, statutory payments, tax codes, and much more, processing the payroll and pensions right through to the timely distribution of management reports and payslips.

Accuracy

Fast is fine, but accuracy is everything

Payroll errors are not just unsettling, but expensive. Under- or over-payment, incorrect tax, benefit or pension deductions can have a negative impact on business and staff morale. With Pay-Nex, you get a fast, accurate, and reliable service with watertight double-checking procedures.

Our Expertise

Avoid surprises by using experts

After many years in the business, we know exactly how to manage your payroll efficiently and reliably. Our team undergoes regular professional development to ensure we stay on top of all changes in legislation that could affect your business and your employees.

Security

Your data is too valuable to risk

Not only do we understand that need for discretion regarding your employees’ data, but we embrace the responsibility. That’s why we are fully Cyber Essentials certified, use some of the most advanced payroll software on the market, and stress-test our networks regularly.

We’ve been in the business long enough to know some of the questions you may have, but feel free to reach out to us for anything else you’d like to ask.

In a word: very. Pay-Nex is Cyber Essentials certified and we use advanced encryption software. Our systems and networks are independently tested every year by our IT partner, nTrust Systems when we need to renew our certification. We are also GDPR compliant.
