Re-Imagine Payroll, Protect Profits

Agency payroll is under unprecedented financial, resource and time pressures, thanks to the growing complexity of compliance, expansion of IR35 off-payroll rules, and mounting pressure to look after workers’ welfare.

Now is the time to take a different and strategic approach to payroll solutions, and by working with the right business, to protect and maximise profits, and safeguard worker loyalty and welfare.

Outsourcing payroll

Payroll is an essential administration duty for every business in the UK, with the smooth and accurate payment of the workforce vital to the growth, success and sustainability of your business.

Traditionally, payroll has been considered just an essential support function and very rarely seen as strategic. Yet those that don’t regard payroll as a strategic resource are frankly ignoring opportunity.

Adding payroll to the strategic plan is essential, and outsourcing payroll is a strategic decision that will address efficiency, cost savings, protect profits, staff retention, productivity, employee engagement, and wellbeing strategies.

As specialists of outsourced PAYE payroll and employee benefits, at Hive360 we provide compliant and reliable PAYE payroll support and employment administration that reduces overheads and improves operational efficiencies.

Compliance is key

Recruiters should only use an outsourced payroll provider that provides compliant and reliable PAYE payroll support and employment administration that reduces overheads and improves operational efficiencies.

Anyone paid through HIVE360 is done so under PAYE. HIVE360 does not operate any form of tax avoidance or manipulation, which puts a business at ongoing risk. In addition, HIVE360:

• Is not an associated company of the client.
• None of its workers has any interest in its business (no shares).
• Its management and control are separate to and uninfluenced by the workforce.
• All workers are engaged under PAYE contracts (either of employment or service).
