Taking on employees

People employed by the firm must be paid the national minimum wage and are entitled to a contract of employment. We can help the partnership with entitlement to things like holiday entitlement, sick pay, maternity pay and the like. As an employer, the firm must also pay an employer’s national insurance contribution on any wages or salaries.

Our payroll service enables you to make payments to the employees electronically (avoiding the need to raise cheques) and we can pay the Inland Revenue on your behalf. We also complete most of the work involved in the preparation and submission of the form P35 and forms P60.

From 2009/10 the Inland Revenue expects all employers to file their annual returns electronically and are giving cash incentives in the meantime to those employers who register early for the new scheme and who file in this was from 2004/05.
