Payroll built for retail businesses in the South West
Seasonal staffing spikes
Christmas, Easter, and school holidays bring surges in casual and part-time staff. We onboard seasonal workers quickly and scale back down just as smoothly.
Variable hours and shift work
Retail rotas change week to week. We accept your hours data in any format, spreadsheet, rota app export, or email, and process it accurately each pay run.
National Living Wage across multiple age brackets
Retail employs workers across every age group, each with different NLW rates. We apply the correct rate for every employee automatically and update as rates change each April.
Holiday pay for variable-hours retail staff: one of the most commonly miscalculated payroll items in the UK.
Variable-hours and zero-hours retail workers are entitled to holiday pay based on their average earnings over the preceding 52 weeks, not a fixed weekly amount. Most retail businesses either underpay or miss it entirely. We calculate it correctly every time.
Everything included for retail and wholesale businesses.
One fixed monthly fee for your entire workforce, permanent, part-time, and seasonal staff. No per-payslip charges.
