01 / The challenge

Paying people is simple. Until it isn’t.

One payday touches employee records, earnings, deductions, approvals, pensions and statutory obligations. When each step is handled separately, small mistakes can turn into expensive headaches.

Month end

So many figures. One payslip.

Gross pay, tax, National Insurance and other deductions all have to come together correctly.

See the employee record

The approval chain

Who has reviewed this payroll?

Without a clear pay-run process, it is hard to know what has been checked, approved or paid.

Explore pay runs

Payroll obligations

Deadlines don’t wait.

PAYE liabilities and pension contributions need to be visible before they become overdue.

Explore liability tracking

Different work arrangements

Not everyone is paid the same.

Employee salaries and instructor commissions follow different rules and settlement schedules.

See flexible commissions

Four different headaches that share one cause: the work is spread across too many places.

02 / Our approach

From employee record to payday. One connected flow.

Rather than add another disconnected payroll tool, we designed the work around the steps a business already has to complete, with a visible status on each one and a record of what happens next.

01
People
Employee details, tax codes and pension membership.
02
Calculate
Gross-to-net payroll and statutory deductions.
03
Review
Controlled pay-run stages and approvals.
04
Track
HMRC liability and pension schedules.
05
Settle
Payment status, records and commission handling.

03 / The core experience

The details matter. So does the experience.

Choose a workflow to see the real screen and why each part of it is there.

Payroll control

A clearer path from draft to paid.

Create a pay run, review the numbers, approve it and record when it has been paid. Gross, net and HMRC stay in view the whole way.

Start a run from a pay schedule
The stage is on every row
Gross, net and HMRC side by side
Mark paid, return it or export the payment file

Fewer manual checks across disconnected files.

The people behind payroll

Every employee. One reliable record.

Payroll profile, tax details, pay schedule, pension position and absence records for each person, all feeding the same pay run.

Start onboarding from a staff member
Tax code and NI letter on the row
Pension status at a glance
Edit a profile, change a tax code or mark a leaver

One record that payroll actually reads from.

Financial visibility

See what is due before it is overdue.

Payroll does not end at the payslip. P32 liabilities show month by month, with due dates, what is outstanding and where payments are recorded.

Net due for the year and what is still outstanding
Employment Allowance available this year
A line per month, with its due date
Filing status, payment status and Record payment

Obligations are visible before they become late.

Financial visibility

Know what is owed to the provider.

Each month shows what is owed, what has been paid and what is overdue. The platform does not pay the provider: you export the file, pay from your bank, then record the payment here.

Overdue warning, with the amount to pay
Employee, employer, paid and outstanding
A plain note on how payment works
Export CSV, then Record payment

The schedule and the bank stay in step.

04 / Flexible compensation

Different arrangements. Less manual juggling.

Driving schools may have employed staff and instructors on commission-based agreements. Configurable rate types, effective dates and settlement schedules help keep those arrangements clear.

Percentage or fixed amountA commission rate can be a share or a set sum.
Effective dates and frequencyEach rate says when it starts and how often it settles.
Earnings and settlementInstructor earnings and settlement workflows sit next to the rates.

05 / Why it matters

More confidence in every step. Less uncertainty at payday.

What the design and the workflows are meant to give a business, in plain terms.

Clearer oversight

See pay-run stages, liabilities and outstanding pension contributions without hunting through multiple records.

More consistent processes

Defined calculations, employee data and pay-run approvals help teams follow the same steps each month.

Built for real working arrangements

Manage employed staff and commission-based instructors with the right workflow, instead of one rigid model.

These are intended benefits of the capabilities we built, not measured customer results. That is why there are no percentages or time-saved figures on this page.
