Embracing Modern Payroll Technology

In today’s fast-paced business environment, getting payroll right isn’t just a matter of paying employees on time – it’s about maintaining trust, boosting productivity, and creating a workplace where things run smoothly. Payroll errors, often underestimated, can turn what should be a straightforward task into a frustrating experience for both employees and business owners.

The good news? With the right tools, payroll can go from a headache to a highlight! Believe it or not, payroll errors are more common than we think. In fact, nearly 9 out of 10 UK businesses faced payroll issues in 2022. These mistakes, whether small or significant, usually lead to late or incorrect payments. The ripple effect of such errors can be felt throughout the entire organisation, leading to unhappy employees, unnecessary stress, and time wasted on troubleshooting.

According to Personnel Today, some companies are spending more than 12 hours a month fixing payroll mistakes – valuable time that could be better spent growing the business. But there’s no need to get bogged down by these numbers. The solution is simpler than ever: modern payroll technology. True Cloud-based payroll systems, like Offshore Payroll, are transforming how businesses handle payroll, making it a seamless, efficient process.

Many companies recognise that upgrading their payroll system can significantly reduce errors and save time but concerns about cost and implementation can often cause hesitation. Offshore Payroll is here to change that perception. We believe that powerful, intuitive payroll software should be accessible to all businesses, regardless of size and without the stress or high expense. Our smart import tools make transferring payroll data and initial set up a breeze, and our dedicated relationship managers guide you every step of the way.

Once you make the switch, you’ll wonder why you didn’t do it sooner. No more hours wasted on fixing errors – just more time to focus on what truly matters: growing your business. It’s a smart investment that pays off, leaving both you and your team more satisfied, productive, and ready for the future.

Guernsey and Alderney secondary pension scheme delayed

The introduction of a government-approved secondary pension scheme for Guernsey and Alderney has been delayed.

The scheme was due to be established in 2022 after being approved by deputies, but Brexit and Covid-19 have caused a delay.

No alternative start date has yet been proposed. A delay was not unexpected given the challenges of the past year, and that it could help businesses already hit by the pandemic prepare for the scheme’s implementation.

Local employers will be obliged to offer a pension scheme for staff if they do not do so already, and to make contributions of up to 3.5% of salary.

The default scheme is to be administered by a UK auto-enrolment pension provider specialist, but many businesses are setting up new schemes with local providers.

Details of the delay are set out in Employment & Social Security’s Social Security Contributory Fund Accounts 2020, due to be discussed by the States on 16 June.

“I love being able to press a button and e-mail all the payslips”

Also the Government one return is made so easy again, just submit and it is all completed, If I have any queries or questions the Support Team always sort out any issues and provide solutions.

I find because the product is cloud based if I think of something which needs updating after I have finished work, I can just use my mobile phone or I pad at home so it is very accessible.

Offshore Payroll is very easy to use, it saves me considerable time and has streamlined our payroll process.
