Payroll overview

Introduction

This Infosheet details the overview of the payroll process and information you need to know

Communication

The payroll of your organisation will be handled by either your dedicated finance team or the payroll department depending on the size of your payroll. This will be communicated to you by your finance team.
The Payroll department can be reached on payroll@cfo360.co.uk or 0203 950 3997.

Timelines & deadlines

If your payroll is handled by the payroll department, the payroll process begins on the 19th of the month (this is subject to change depending on whether the 19th falls on a weekend or Bank Holiday).

You will receive an email with a spreadsheet attached for you to complete to tell us about the payroll that you would like processed for the month as well as new joiners and leavers.

Your payroll reports will then be prepared and sent to you to review and approve and following your approval, we submit the Full Payment Summary to HMRC on the 26th and send your employees their payslips. Please make sure that your payments to staff are either on or after this date, to ensure compliance with HMRC’s rules.

If your payroll is handled by your finance team, you will be earning a fixed salary so they will run the payroll, submit the Full Payment Summary to HMRC and send you your payslip on the 26th.
