So, what is a direct payment?  A direct payment is when a local council or local health authority provide a payment direct to an individual that allows them to pay for care and support, giving them more choice of the of the care provided.

 

Why use us? We have been providing a professional payroll service and support to individuals in receipt of direct payments for many years.  We offer a reliable, responsive and cost-effective service to ensure you do not have to worry about being compliant.

What can we do?

Dedicated

We are dedicated in supporting our clients, building a relationship as we want to understand your needs to offer a bespoke service that suits you.

Set-up

We will register you as an employer with HM Revenue & Customs, along with getting authorisation to speak to them on your behalf so you don’t need to worry.

ID & DBS checks

An ID check is necessary before your worker starts.  Once this has been completed we can apply for an enhanced DBS check which is turned around within 48 hours.

Starters & Leavers

All new starters & leavers are included within the fixed fee.  We will also complete any changes to the employees data should it be needed, all within the fee.

Fully Managed Payment Service

We can pay your employees, the taxes to HM Revenue & Customs and any other third parties that need to be paid on your behalf via BACS, so you can be confident that payments are made on time and accurately.

Security

We take data security seriously and our system is certified to ISO 27001 and holds Cyber Essentials certification. You can be confident that your information is safe with us!  We use an online portal to share the payroll information.

Workplace Pension

All employees are entitled to join to a workplace pension, although an employee will need to earn over £833 per month to be automatically enrolled.  A compliance declaration must be completed with the Pension Regulator and we can take care of this.

Support

We will support you through every step and will do this throughout your engagement with us.  We will respond to any questions in a timely manner as we want to ensure that you have nothing to worry about when it comes to payroll.
