Payroll Services in Norfolk
Outsourced payroll for Norfolk employers — including the ones whose headcount doubles in summer and halves again by October.
Seasonal payroll is a Norfolk problem
Two of the county's biggest employment sectors run on seasonal labour. Agriculture and food processing peak with the harvest; tourism along the Broads and the north Norfolk coast peaks with the school holidays and empties out by autumn. Great Yarmouth swings on both tourism and offshore energy work.
That makes payroll harder than headcount alone suggests. Variable hours, starters and leavers every month, holiday pay calculated on averaged hours, and pension auto-enrolment assessments that change as people cross and re-cross the earnings threshold. It is exactly the kind of payroll that goes wrong quietly and is expensive to unpick later.
What we run
Monthly or weekly payroll, RTI submissions to HMRC, payslips, starters and leavers, statutory payments, and pension auto-enrolment including the assessments and the re-enrolment cycle. Year end handled, P60s issued.
Payroll sits alongside the HR side rather than separate from it. When a contract changes, the payroll knows. When someone goes on long-term sick, the statutory sick pay and the HR process are being handled by people who are talking to each other.
Common questions
- Can you handle weekly payroll for seasonal staff?
- Yes. Weekly, fortnightly or monthly, and we are used to headcount that moves with the season.
- Do you handle pension auto-enrolment?
- Yes — assessments, enrolments, opt-outs and the three-yearly re-enrolment, including for staff whose earnings move above and below the threshold.
- We already have an accountant. Does that clash?
- No. Plenty of clients keep their accountant for the books and use us for payroll, because payroll questions are usually employment questions.
