Switching in 3 Weeks

From sign-up to your first pay date

Worried about the upheaval of switching payroll providers? Our structured onboarding means you are fully live within three weeks, with a parallel run to verify every figure before you go.

Week 1

Data Migration

We collect your employee records, HMRC references, pension scheme details, and current tax codes. Your dedicated payroll manager is assigned and your secure portal account goes live.

Week 2

Parallel Run

We run your payroll alongside your current setup for one period, so the figures match to the penny before you switch. You review the trial run in the portal and approve it with a single click.

Week 3

First Pay Date

We file your first FPS with HMRC, payslips are delivered, and your old provider is closed down. From here on, payroll just happens, every period, on time.
