We have developed a range of payroll solutions, from software based to fully managed. Each capable of adaptation to suit your specific needs, whether you operate your own payroll in house, fully outsource the function, or run a combination of the two.
Our
hosted service provides access to your own dedicated server via a secure path that allows data changes to be made in real time.
Other solutions from the
esl portfolio, such as
esl Human Resources or
esl Workplace Management, may be seamlessly integrated with the hosted service, thus allowing your team to focus on strategic issues and deal with what they do best.
For organisations that have their own payroll department but would rather leave the critical area to the specialists, our bureau service may well be the solution.
Based on award-winning software, accredited by HMRC, the system allows data changes to be made and viewed in real time. But there’s much more to the service than that, since it offers much of the functionality of an in-house system - without the pressure.
When a client appoints esl a member of our new business team is assigned to manage the project from start to finish, co-ordinating such activities as data take-on, training and technical development, where appropriate. Employee records are set up and checked thoroughly via a ‘parallel run’ before processing commences.
Each payroll implementation is planned to the client’s desired timescale, incorporating training and technical development, including interfaces to nominal ledger, etc. When the implementation is complete, you are assigned to IPP-qualified support staff.
We utilise one of the most powerful and flexible payroll systems in the industry, with reports retrieved electronically and the provision of ePayslips, which allow employees to access their current or archived payslips direct from a secure website. As a BACS approved bureau, esl not only ensures that funds reach employees’ bank accounts on pay day, but remits funds to the HMRC and pension providers on your behalf.
Typically, our
managed service includes taking data input from source, e.g. spreadsheets and timesheets, production of interim payslips for starters and leavers and regular reconciliation of the payroll. The service is tailor-made to suit your needs, refined - in agreement with you - to achieve the maximum efficiencies.
We work hard to gain a sound understanding of the payroll function and its interaction with other departments in your organisation. Where appropriate, proposals will be suggested for the enhancement of internal procedures. Ultimately, a service level will be created that fully meets your expectations, allowing esl to assume the responsibility for running your payroll on your behalf.
