Payroll Services London

Construction payroll means juggling PAYE employees, CIS subcontractors and seasonal labour — all under RTI deadlines. We run your payroll end to end, handle CIS deductions, and keep every filing on time so you avoid penalties.

PAYE

Employees paid and filed on time

RTI

Real-time submissions every cycle

CIS

Subcontractor deductions integrated

Payslips

Clear, compliant, digital

Construction payroll is more complex than most industries because you are usually running two systems at once — PAYE for your employees and CIS for your subcontractors — and sometimes the same person works for you under both arrangements on different jobs. On top of that, construction has seasonal and casual labour, variable hours, and a workforce that changes from week to week.

We run your PAYE payroll end to end — calculating pay, tax and National Insurance, producing digital payslips, making RTI submissions to HMRC on or before payday, and handling P60s, P45s and year-end filing. We manage pension auto-enrolment, including assessment, enrolment and contribution calculations. And we handle CIS verification, deduction and monthly returns alongside your payroll so that your total labour cost is always accurate.

The key to avoiding payroll penalties is RTI — Real Time Information. Every payment to an employee must be reported to HMRC on or before the day they are paid. We manage this for every pay cycle, so you never miss an RTI deadline, and we handle the year-end P35/EPS submission to close out the tax year cleanly.

[ Frequently Asked Questions ]

Payroll Services London — your questions answered.

What is RTI and why does it matter for payroll?

RTI (Real Time Information) requires employers to report PAYE information to HMRC on or before every payday — not just at year-end. Missing an RTI submission triggers penalties and can cause problems with employee tax codes. We manage RTI submissions for every pay cycle so you never miss a deadline.

How do PAYE and CIS work together on a construction site?

PAYE employees have tax and National Insurance deducted through the payroll system and receive a payslip. CIS subcontractors have a flat percentage (20% or 30%) deducted from the labour element of their payment and receive a deduction statement. Some workers may be employees on one job and subcontractors on another. We run both systems and reconcile them so your total labour cost is accurate.

How much do payroll services cost?

Our payroll add-on is £25 per month plus £5 per additional employee per month. This covers full PAYE processing, RTI submissions, payslips, P60s/P45s, and year-end filing. CIS subcontractor management is priced separately. Book a free review for a fixed quote based on your headcount.

Do you handle pension auto-enrolment?

Yes. We assess your workforce for auto-enrolment eligibility, enrol eligible employees, calculate employer and employee contributions, and manage the ongoing assessments as staff join or leave. We will also work with your pension provider to make sure contributions are paid correctly.

Can you handle weekly and monthly pay runs?

Yes. We handle weekly, fortnightly and monthly pay runs — whatever your business needs. Construction often has weekly-paid labourers and monthly-paid supervisors, and we manage both cycles with RTI submissions for every payment.
