Vero HR Outsourced Payroll Services

Let us take away the stress of payday

Like all our other HR solutions, Vero Pay has been built to offer you the kind of service you’d expect from an in-house team for a fraction of the cost, while removing the single point of failure risk.

This fully managed payroll service takes care of everything, from payroll processing to pensions management, and can be tailored to suit your specific requirements.

With the ability to integrate with our self-service technology, our Vero Pay service can empower employees to access their payslips and update their personal and payroll data in minutes.

Vero Pay is a Bacs Approved Bureau too, meeting the very highest standards for payroll processing. Safe, secure, convenient and affordable, Vero Pay is the outsourced payroll service for businesses that don’t want to compromise.

Our payroll services give you:

  • End-to-end management of the payroll and pensions process
  • A dedicated payroll professional, with a second supporting resource
  • All year-round access for your finance lead
  • Full integration with our self-service HR systems, ensuring seamless data flow and eliminating duplication
  • Close working relationships with our HR specialists for accurate and timely payroll communication
  • The option for us to manage payments on your behalf
  • HMRC Agent status
  • Fixed payslip fee per employee
  • BACS file upload, direct from your bank account

Why use our outsourced payroll services?

Cut the costs of your payroll function

Handling payroll in-house can be expensive. The cost of software, training, hiring and retaining employees, along with potential fines from mistakes, quickly adds up. Outsourcing to Vero Pay provides a more cost-effective solution, especially for small to medium-sized organisations.

Boost payroll accuracy and strengthen regulatory compliance

With payroll’s ever-changing legislative landscape, including employment law, it can be difficult to keep up. And even simple mistakes can have the biggest impact. At Vero HR, our payroll experts stay up to date with all regulations and filing deadlines on your behalf. This minimises the risk of errors and costly penalties for non-compliance.

Remove the single point of failure risk

When outsourcing your payroll to us, you no longer have to worry about service disruption caused by in-house team members’ sickness or absence. With Vero HR, your expert team will always be available to ensure your employees get paid accurately and on time, every time.

Remain in control throughout the entire payroll process

Most importantly, although outsourcing means handing your payroll processing over to a partner, you will always remain in the driving seat with full control and visibility of the process. With multiple reports to check and approvals to sign off, nothing will ever be processed without your request or consent.

Whether you’re after stand-alone payroll support or an all-encompassing HR and payroll package, we’ll work with you to create a bespoke solution that ticks all your boxes.

And, crucially, we’ll be there whenever you need us. With Vero HR, you’ll have year-round access to a team of HR and payroll professionals. Need a little extra support for a month? Have a few questions you’d like an expert to answer? You can count on us.

Frequently asked questions

The way we do it is very similar to having an in-house payroll professional, but with the backup of the wider team to cover absence or leavers. For clients that also use our integrated HR software, there is minimal client involvement as employee data (such as holidays and sickness) is seamlessly transferred to payroll. And, of course, you maintain complete control and authorise any payments before they are made.

The main benefit of outsourcing your payroll to a specialist like us is cost. Vero Pay delivers the same level of service as an in-house payroll team, but at a much more affordable price – especially for smaller to medium-sized businesses. You’ll still have access to experienced payroll professionals, your team will still be able to enjoy the very latest self-service tech – but you won’t have to worry about the up-front cost of assembling your own payroll team, keeping them up to date with training, or costly fines for non-compliance.

A managed payroll service is an outsourced service by another name. All payroll details are processed from the information you provide, including pension assessments. And as we operate with HMRC Agent status, tax code changes can be sent directly through to our payroll teams from HMRC. All RTI communications are sent on your behalf, and as we are one of a small number of Bacs Approved Bureaus in the UK, we can securely manage Bacs payments for salaries, HMRC and pension providers.

We think so. We have a wide knowledge of different sectors: private, public and not for profit. We have the knowledge that goes with running large, complex payrolls and pension schemes, for example, within the public and education sectors.

This is dependent on the size and complexity of your business and at what point during the tax year you would like to go live. We approach all payroll transfers with our project management methodology to ensure there’s a seamless transition to our service. We will also undertake trial runs before the first live run.

We offer an integrated HR and Payroll software solution that gives employees, through the self-service functionality, the ability to update personal details at any time. This is automatically pulled through to the payroll system. Our digital solution also minimises the risk of keying errors through intelligent form field validation for items such as bank account details.

This depends on your requirements. The options available are by email, either password protected or using encrypted software, or they can be uploaded directly to our HR self-service system. We can still issue paper payslips if you wish, but we encourage clients to use the digital options, which are much more secure and cheaper!

Yes, it is stored on our server and within a secure cloud. To obtain BACS accredited status, BACS undertake a rigorous audit on Vero Pay, which includes a review of our infrastructure and data security. Every team member undertakes training on cyber security, money laundering and GDPR annually.

For more than two decades now, we’ve been supporting businesses across the UK with our suite of HR solutions, payroll outsourcing services, employee benefit services and more. From small businesses and startups to large, nationwide brands, we work with companies of all sizes. Whether you’re planning a one-off project and need temporary assistance or you’re looking for ongoing support as your business grows, we can help. Since we first started out in 2005, we’ve worked with companies in every sector you can imagine, including manufacturing, engineering, media, and so much more. Whatever you do and whatever you need, we’ll tailor our services to suit.
