Payroll Update

With Christmas around the corner and in anticipation of office closures over the festive period, we are writing to ask that you send us an advance notice of any changes to your December payroll by 11^th December 2020.

We appreciate that this may require you to make a forecast that might later be inaccurate but we can make the necessary adjustments in the New Year. We will not be able to offer any adjustments or corrections in December after payroll has been processed and HMRC has been informed.

We are aware that there is an increasing demand for payroll paperwork to be posted out to you, even as the pandemic continues. We are following government guidance and as such our staff are working from home and do not have direct access to our internal post system.

If your employees require copies of their payslips you can forward them the payslips we have emailed to you. We apologise for the inconvenience this has caused as we are aware employers need to submit quarterly returns to Trust finance. In this instance we have provided an email address for each Trust finance office so you can forward your paperwork to your respective Trust.

We are also aware that some employers are finding it difficult to pay HMRC. We have provided the details for paying HMRC either via cheque or bank transfer.

Paying HMRC via cheque:

The address is: HMRC, Direct, BX5 5BD

Write both of these reference numbers on the back of the cheque:

-PAYE ( this is found on the employee’s payslip under the employers name )

Paying HMRC via bank transfer:
