Payroll Services

Listening, Understanding, Advising

Fixed-fee payroll services for UK businesses — RTI submissions, payslips, PAYE/NIC, workplace pensions (auto-enrolment), starters/leavers, statutory payments support and year-end P60s — with a dedicated payroll accountant and a secure client portal.

Fixed monthly fees — clear inclusions, no surprises RTI payroll run properly — accurate pay runs, tidy records, compliant submissions Deadlines handled — so wages, HMRC and pensions stay under control

Expert Payroll & PAYE Support for UK Employers

Payroll shouldn’t feel stressful — but for many employers it does. Late RTI submissions, changing tax codes, starter/leaver admin, pension contributions, variable hours, holiday pay, statutory pay… it adds up fast. One mistake can cause HMRC letters, unhappy staff, and time you simply don’t have.

At Swift, you get a dedicated payroll accountant who runs payroll properly, submits RTI on time, keeps your PAYE and pension admin tidy, and explains everything in plain English — without jargon and without last-minute panic.

Whether you have 1 employee, a growing team, weekly payroll, monthly payroll, rota staff, or director payroll, we keep it simple, compliant and predictable.

We go further, respond faster, and work harder for you. Join hundreds of UK businesses who trust us with their finances — and discover how calm payroll can feel when it’s handled properly.

What’s Included (Payroll Services)

Everything you need to keep payroll compliant and under control — with fixed fees and a dedicated payroll contact.

Payroll processing (weekly / fortnightly / monthly)

We run payroll to your pay schedule and keep the routine consistent — including variable hours, overtime, bonuses/commission where relevant, and clear reporting for you.

Payslips for employees and directors

Payslips issued correctly, with clear breakdowns. Director payroll supported where relevant, and kept aligned with your accounts.

RTI submissions to HMRC (done properly)

We submit Full Payment Submissions (FPS) on time (on or before payday) and handle Employer Payment Summaries (EPS) when needed — so HMRC records stay accurate.

Starters and leavers (admin handled)

We process starters, leavers, and payroll changes cleanly — so you’re not chasing paperwork later.

PAYE/NIC tracking + payment clarity

You’ll know what’s due, when it’s due, and what it relates to — with deadlines tracked so you don’t get caught out.

Workplace pensions (auto-enrolment) support

We help keep pension contributions aligned with payroll and support ongoing duties like monitoring eligibility, opt-ins/opt-outs and contribution consistency.

Statutory payments support (where applicable)

If statutory pay applies (sick, maternity etc.), we help you keep payroll treatment and records organised, and claim recoveries where relevant via EPS.

Year-end payroll (P60s and deadlines)

We keep year-end payroll tasks organised and ensure P60s are provided on time where required.

HMRC payroll letters and queries (we handle the headaches)

If HMRC write to you, we deal with it calmly and clearly, with a plan of action — not panic.

Your Payroll Routine (Weekly or Monthly)

Most payroll stress comes from a messy process, not the payroll itself. We keep it clean:

Weekly/monthly (you send): rota hours or fixed salaries + any changes (overtime, bonuses, leavers)

We do: payroll processing + payslips + RTI submission

Monthly (if applicable): EPS reductions/claims handled correctly and on time

Monthly/quarterly: PAYE payment clarity and deadlines tracked


Ongoing (if applicable): pensions aligned and monitored

Simple. Repeatable. No last-minute chaos.

Common Payroll Problems We Fix (Fast)

– RTI filed late or inconsistently (HMRC letters and stress)
– Starters/leavers not handled cleanly (creates year-end mess)
– Pension contributions drifting or being missed
– Variable hours/rota payroll becoming “guesswork”
– PAYE liabilities unclear until it’s too late
– Year-end tasks (P60s/benefits deadlines) rushed and stressful
