Based on our knowledge of payroll security standards, our research team is wholly confident companies can rely on the brand to offer a secure service that adheres to HMRC data regulations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HR services: <\/strong>for small teams that want to combine payroll and HR software, our researchers have noted that IRIS has both, so managers won&rsquo;t need to divide the data between two products.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Implementation: <\/strong>payroll is a specialist area which we know businesses often don&rsquo;t have the time or resources to educate employees in. Recognising this dilemma, IRIS dishes out training on its software and tax changes to develop user knowledge &ndash; and give firms the option to move in-house in future.<\/p>\n<h3>Where does IRIS underperform?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Year-end reporting: <\/strong>submitting year-end reports to HMRC is one of the most stressful periods of payroll, with huge amounts of compliance, checks, and paperwork involved. Frustratingly, IRIS will not take care of final payment submissions (FPSs) for users, whereas a vendor like <a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/go\/moorepay-payroll\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cta-type=\"inline-link\"><strong>Moorepay<\/strong><\/a> will take care of this.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Customisation: <\/strong>IRIS doesn&rsquo;t let businesses create custom reports; an issue for anyone wanting niche pay data like average pension contribution. During testing, we were able to import standard reports in the &lsquo;Report Manager&rsquo; tab, however, bespoke reports are only purchasable on top of an IRIS software licence. Every other brand (except for TopSource) in this list includes the custom reports feature for no additional charge.[\/vc_column_text] <\/p><div class=\"pros-cons\">\n <div class=\"pros\">\n <span class=\"pros-cons-title\">\n IRIS Pros: <\/span>\n\n <ul class=\"pros-cons-list\">\n <li class=\"pros-cons-item\">\n Integrates with tens of business software products (including the entire Microsoft Suite) so you can easily share payroll data across multiple systems <\/li>\n <li class=\"pros-cons-item\">\n Staff have 24\/7 access to their payslips and pension documents through the IRIS mobile app <\/li>\n <li class=\"pros-cons-item\">\n IRIS gives users a dedicated account manager to handle all queries.

In large part, that&rsquo;s due to its low cost. PayEscape has set flat-rate fees that make it easier for <strong>seasonal businesses like shops, cafes, or pubs to plan their budget.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Retail and hospitality firms will know exactly how much they&rsquo;re spending with PayEscape.

Instead, companies are billed on a monthly rolling basis &ndash; which our analysts rate highly as a big comfort to firms that may be worried about their ability to keep up with payments in today&rsquo;s economy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Time management: <\/strong>PayEscape also offers Workforce Ready, a time and attendance module which empowers employees working changing shift patterns. Staff can clock in and out depending on their start\/finish times and breaks. Plus, they can swap shifts between themselves using the self-service portal.<\/p>\n<h3>Where does PayEscape underperform?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Customer support:<\/strong> there are some fundamentals missing from the PayEscape platform, Webscape such as a designated account manager (often one of the key motivators behind outsourcing payroll) which TopSource includes as part of your contract. Our research team did spot that business owners can get assistance via live chat or over the phone, however.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HR services: <\/strong>PayEscape is less adept at managing people teams. Aside from payroll, it has no benefits management service (for delivering and tracking staff perks) or learning management service (for upskilling workers). We doubt shops and cafes, which usually employ workers on a part-term or zero hours basis, will find this a huge concern. But offices with full-time employees might consider a vendor with more sophisticated HR integration.[\/vc_column_text] <\/p><div class=\"pros-cons\">\n <div class=\"pros\">\n <span class=\"pros-cons-title\">\n PayEscape Pros: <\/span>\n\n <ul class=\"pros-cons-list\">\n <li class=\"pros-cons-item\">\n Allow custom payroll reports (unlike IRIS) for last-minute changes or edits <\/li>\n <li class=\"pros-cons-item\">\n Every member of Payescape&rsquo;s service team is certified by the Chartered Institute of Payroll Professionals (CIPP), so you can trust you're getting expert help <\/li>\n <li class=\"pros-cons-item\">\n Monthly, rolling contract means that you can cancel anytime without incurring any penalties <\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <\/div>\n\n \n <div class=\"cons\">\n <span class=\"pros-cons-title\">\n PayEscape Cons: <\/span>\n\n <ul class=\"pros-cons-list\">\n <li class=\"pros-cons-item\">\n Vendor stores all customer data in the US - a potential concern for security <\/li>\n <li class=\"pros-cons-item\">\n PayEscape clients do not get access to a single point of contact who can handle requests - unlike IRIS and Moorepay <\/li>\n <li class=\"pros-cons-item\">\n PayEscape does not have ISO:27001 accreditation which means its security is not as robust as Moorepay or IRIS <\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<div class=\"jumplink-anchor-section\">\n <div class=\"jumplink-anchor-pointer\" id=\"link-3-moorepay-best-for-growing-teams\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n[vc_column_text]\n<h2>3.

Once established, however, they often feel they need something more advanced; and Moorepay is the ideal option. The brand has a strong reputation as a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/go\/moorepay-payroll\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cta-type=\"inline-link\">capable tool for larger teams and complex pay processing<\/a><\/strong>.

Moorepay supplies multiple payroll report types like a register (list of employee contacts) and changes report (record of payroll changes month-by-month). Clients can also build DIY reports, unlike when using IRIS.<\/p>\n<p><strong>People management: <\/strong>when making new hires, HR functions need to grow alongside payroll. Moorepay&rsquo;s self-service portal lets managers and staff see:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Current and past payslip data<\/li>\n<li>Year-to-date tax information and P60 forms<\/li>\n<li>Leave requests, balances, and approval status<\/li>\n<li>Key documents like company policies or tax forms<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Support features: <\/strong>new signees are given access to <a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/go\/moorepay-payroll\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cta-type=\"inline-link\"><strong>Moorepay&rsquo;s implementation team<\/strong><\/a>, and an account manager who handles any legislative or policy changes that might impact the business. In terms of a helpdesk, customers can contact Moorepay via live chat and over the phone.<\/p>\n<h3>Where does Moorepay underperform?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Suitability for micro teams: <\/strong>We don&rsquo;t recommend Moorepay for teams with under three employees. Its &lsquo;extra-mile&rsquo; features like monitoring overtime and expenses in real-time are impressive. But we&rsquo;re certain they won&rsquo;t be worth the larger price tag for micro teams &ndash; particularly not those trying to keep costs down. PayEscape is a more affordable option if you&rsquo;re just looking to carry out core payroll functions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Live training: <\/strong>while Moorepay does provide a specialist to assist with onboarding, its training features are not live which could slow down troubleshooting and make it harder for teams to get to grips with its software. Our researchers did find a wide library of pre-recorded webinars, video tutorials, and guides that walk clients through the system, however.[\/vc_column_text] <\/p><div class=\"pros-cons\">\n <div

ADP Real Time is a cloud-based time and attendance solution included with ADP that allows staff to input their work hours themselves <em>but <\/em>requires them to also record their attendance at work or online.

Other rivals including PayEscape are also lacking this function, but we&rsquo;ve chosen to highlight this as a key drawback for ADP because if a companyis hiring a lot of freelancers then keeping an eye on how your outsourcing costs are increasing\/decreasing will be especially vital.[\/vc_column_text] <\/p><div class=\"pros-cons\">\n <div class=\"pros\">\n <span class=\"pros-cons-title\">\n ADP Pros: <\/span>\n\n <ul class=\"pros-cons-list\">\n <li class=\"pros-cons-item\">\n Mobile app is available for employee self-service and access to payslips <\/li>\n <li class=\"pros-cons-item\">\n Huge range of third-party integrations available to cover aspects like accounting, recruiting, and time and attendance <\/li>\n <li class=\"pros-cons-item\">\n ADP is ISO 9000 and ISO 27001 certified meaning it meets very high security standards <\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <\/div>\n\n \n <div class=\"cons\">\n <span class=\"pros-cons-title\">\n ADP Cons: <\/span>\n\n <ul class=\"pros-cons-list\">\n <li class=\"pros-cons-item\">\n Customer support is fairly limited with no email help available if you run into an issue <\/li>\n <li class=\"pros-cons-item\">\n During our user testing we encountered multiple ads and pop-ups in the back end of the ADP software <\/li>\n <li class=\"pros-cons-item\">\n ADP is not a CIPP Payroll Assurance Scheme (PAS) accredited provider <\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<div class=\"jumplink-anchor-section\">\n <div class=\"jumplink-anchor-pointer\" id=\"link-7-topsource-worldwide-best-for-hiring-internationally\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n[vc_column_text]\n<h2>7.

Inarguably, it stands out for its international payroll features.

In this, all of the essentials are covered including HMRC registration, pension calculations, and end-of-year processing. That said, TopSource does not permit companies to build custom databases &ndash; an issue if the manager wants to combine both HR and payroll data into one report.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fast setup: <\/strong>hiring from abroad often means delays and uncertainties as hiring managers navigate procedures like Right to Work checks. Handily, once these are done, switching to a managed payroll provider like TopSource is super quick. Our research team confirmed turnaround times can be as little as four weeks due to TopSource&rsquo;s streamlined onboarding methods.<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Where does TopSource underperform?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Training: <\/strong>TopSource does not offer coaching on how to use its platform via written instruction or live feed. It does offer a dedicated account manager who will be able to offer some advice with onboarding, but their advice is unlikely to be as comprehensive and could impact how well teams can understand and navigate the software. We also could not find a TopSource knowledge base or any learning materials on tax laws, which means managers need to rely heavily on the account manager to update payroll and ensure companies stay compliant.[\/vc_column_text] <\/p><div class=\"pros-cons\">\n <div class=\"pros\">\n <span class=\"pros-cons-title\">\n TopSource Pros: <\/span>\n\n <ul class=\"pros-cons-list\">\n <li class=\"pros-cons-item\">\n TopSource is a CIPP Payroll Assurance Scheme (PAS) accredited provider <\/li>\n <li class=\"pros-cons-item\">\n ISO 9001 and ISO 22301 certification means your data is well protected in case of cyber attacks <\/li>\n <li class=\"pros-cons-item\">\n Mobile app means employees will get immediate payroll updates, wherever they are based <\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <\/div>\n\n \n <div class=\"cons\">\n <span class=\"pros-cons-title\">\n TopSource Cons: <\/span>\n\n <ul class=\"pros-cons-list\">\n <li class=\"pros-cons-item\">\n Live chat and phone support is available but the customer team is not based in the UK so you may face troubleshooting delays <\/li>\n <li class=\"pros-cons-item\">\n Employee portal is not compatible with Mac laptops or computers, which could be an issue for Apple users <\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n[vc_column_text]\n<h2>What types of businesses are payroll services suitable for?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Companies with fewer than 25 employees<\/strong>.

This is because the demands of your employee pay can vary massively depending on industry, team size, and benefit structure.<\/p>\n<p>As a rough estimate, SMEs should expect to pay around &pound;6 per employee, per month as a payroll fee. So, if you have 15 employees, it will cost you &pound;90 per month.[\/vc_column_text]<\/p><div class=\"jumplink-anchor-section\">\n <div class=\"jumplink-anchor-pointer\" id=\"link-buying-guide-how-to-choose-a-payroll-service-provider\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n[vc_column_text]\n<h2>Buying guide: how to choose a payroll service provider<\/h2>\n<p>Besides the all-important price tag, what are the most crucial factors to investigate when you&rsquo;re comparing payroll service providers?<\/p>\n<p>The first thing to remember is that HMRC compliance is not negotiable when selecting a provider. Ensure your chosen service ticks this crucial box, reassuring you of their commitment to regulatory standards and your business&rsquo;s compliance. Fortunately, all the providers we feature in this article are HMRC compliant, so there&rsquo;s no worry there.<\/p>\n<p>So, what else should you consider? Let&rsquo;s explore:<\/p>\n<h3>1. Expertise<\/h3>\n<p>From working with small business owners for over 20 years we know how confusing payroll can be. Expertise matters, so look for providers with a proven track record in handling payroll needs and meeting set standards on compliance and security like CIPP and ISO:27001 accreditation.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Tax administration<\/h3>\n<p>Similarly, a proficient payroll service provider should navigate tax regulations effortlessly. They will stay abreast of tax law changes, minimising compliance risks. A good provider will have dedicated staff who constantly monitor these changes and ensure all payroll automations are submitted accurately and on time.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Data security<\/h3>\n<p>Security breaches can be catastrophic. Prioritise providers with robust data security measures. Because you won&rsquo;t have oversight over where your employee data is stored if outsourcing payroll, it&rsquo;s a good idea to appraise each provider to see that it protects sensitive information with encryption, secure servers, and stringent access controls.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Payroll reporting capabilities<\/h3>\n<p>Detailed and accurate reporting is the bedrock of effective payroll. Assess the reporting capabilities of the provider &ndash; customisable reports, real-time insights, and compliance reports should be part of their arsenal. This ensures you&rsquo;re not just processing payroll but leveraging valuable data.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Employee experience<\/h3>\n<p>A payroll system isn&rsquo;t just for administrators; it directly impacts your employees. Choose a provider that offers user-friendly interfaces and accessible employee portals to enhance employee satisfaction and reduce the administrative burden on your HR department.<\/p>\n<h3>6. Setup and training processes<\/h3>\n<p>Overall, the entire payroll software implementation process can range from 30 days to more than 3 months. That means a lot of time where company owners are distracted and unable to carry out core business activities. A provider should offer comprehensive training to your team, ensuring everyone is adept at using the system to speed up the setup process &ndash; the quicker the better &ndash; without compromising comprehensiveness.<\/p>\n<h3>7. Customer support options<\/h3>\n<p>Responsive customer support is invaluable if an issue arises that might prevent you paying your employees on time or with the right amount. Opt for providers with multiple support channels &ndash; email, phone, and live chat. Timely and effective support can be a lifesaver if you have a technical glitch.<\/p>\n<h3>8. Software integrations<\/h3>\n<p>Payroll is closely linked to other important aspects of running a business including accounting, HR, and recruitment. Assess the provider&rsquo;s compatibility with the other software your business uses to build a comprehensive system where all data can be recorded, shared, and updated from one place. This will drastically save time and avoid the risk of data entry errors.<\/p>\n<h3>9. HR services<\/h3>\n<p>While it might be tempting to go with the cheapest payroll provider possible when you&rsquo;re an SME, it&rsquo;s best to think long term. Signing up with a provider with a wider range of HR services allows you to easily add on features like benefits administration, performance management, or applicant tracking systems (ATS) as your workforce grows.[\/vc_column_text]<\/p><div class=\"jumplink-anchor-section\">\n <div class=\"jumplink-anchor-pointer\" id=\"link-why-should-i-invest-in-a-payroll-provider\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n[vc_column_text]\n<h2>Why should I invest in a payroll provider?<\/h2>\n<p>Outsourcing payroll is an easy way to save time and avoid stress during one of the most complicated aspects of managing a business: making employee pay submissions. During payroll, many business owners struggle to find the time to remain on top of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Administrative processes<\/li>\n<li>The regular changes in tax law and regulations overseen by HMRC<\/li>\n<li>The many and varied deductions and calculations related to an employee&rsquo;s gross salary each week or month<\/li>\n<li>The data input associated with payslips and other documentation such as annual P60s<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Payroll service providers can do all of the above much more efficiently and accurately than an in-house excel spreadsheet could ever hope to.
