Best Bookkeeping Services in Kidderminster

Do you check your payslips? Here’s just one reason why you should!! We were onboarding a new client ….. and ….. as I have said before, we always do a forensic review of any new payroll before running it, to make sure we have it correct before we start to process. We noticed an anomaly with one employee’s workplace pension, their contribution was £50 per month, which should be set up to automatically come out of their salary through payroll. Unfortunately, the company’s previous payroll provider had not set payroll up correctly and contributions were not being taken. However, contributions were being made by the employer to the pension company ….. phew! …. (so at least the pension was in order). However, this error had been made back in 2018, meaning the employee had got to make up £3,600, in contributions, that had been paid by the employer to the pension company. Needless to say, in this day and age, that is a substantial amount for the employee to find and this kind of error can cause consternation, concern and an element of distrust between employee and employer. We work hard to make sure payroll is done correctly, efficiently and on time, every time. If you have any payroll worries or would like a price comparison, before the end of the tax year, get in touch.
