Direct Payroll Services provides payroll outsourcing in Brighton for employers that want to move recurring payroll processing away from business owners, administrators, HR teams, or internal finance staff.
Our payroll specialists can handle agreed processes such as employee pay calculations, PAYE and National Insurance, RTI submissions, statutory payments, workplace pensions, payslips, and employee payroll changes.
The service can support small businesses without a dedicated payroll function, growing employers taking on more staff, and established businesses looking to reduce the payroll workload retained by their internal teams.
You send us the employee and pay information needed for each pay run, and our team handles the agreed payroll calculations, updates, and reporting.
Payroll Processing: Calculate employee pay and applicable deductions for each agreed pay run.
PAYE and National Insurance: Process applicable Income Tax and National Insurance calculations.
RTI Reporting: Submit required payroll information to HMRC through Real Time Information.
Payslips: Prepare payslips showing relevant pay and deductions.
Starters and Leavers: Process payroll changes when employees join or leave.
Statutory Payments: Process applicable statutory payments, including eligible sick, maternity, and paternity pay.
Workplace Pensions: Process relevant pension deductions and payroll-related auto-enrolment information.
Payroll Records and Reports: Maintain relevant payroll information and provide agreed payroll reports.
Payroll Query Support: Get help with queries about processed pay, deductions, employee changes, and other agreed payroll matters.
Once the payroll information is provided by the agreed deadline, our team completes the agreed processing and prepares the relevant payroll outputs for that pay run.
Payroll software can support calculations, but businesses still need people with the time and knowledge to manage payroll data, update employee information, check each pay run, and meet reporting deadlines. For small business owners, these responsibilities often sit alongside other core business activities.
Recurring Payroll Tasks: Information needs to be prepared and processed for every pay period.
Employee Changes: Starters, leavers, absences, and pay changes need to be reflected correctly.
Manual Administration: Repetitive data entry can increase the time required to complete payroll.
PAYE Requirements: Income Tax and National Insurance calculations form part of regular payroll processing.
HMRC Reporting: Relevant payroll information must be reported through RTI.
Workplace Pensions: Pension deductions and related administration create additional recurring tasks.
Payroll Errors: Incorrect or incomplete information can affect employee pay and require additional work to resolve.
Sensitive Employee Data: Payroll may contain personal information, pay details, and bank details that require appropriate data security.
Limited Internal Cover: Smaller businesses may rely heavily on one person to complete payroll.
As your workforce grows, keeping every payroll task in-house can require more time and internal resources. Outsourcing agreed payroll processes can provide additional support without requiring your business to expand its own payroll function.
Payroll outsourcing transfers agreed recurring payroll processes to specialists while your business continues to provide the employee data and changes required for each pay run. This can create meaningful time savings and give internal teams more capacity to focus on their core business activities.

The right payroll service provider should complement your internal team rather than make the process less transparent. Your business retains oversight while the provider handles the agreed processing.
