16 things included in your Carer Payroll subscription
1. Peace of mind
When you hire a carer, you become their employer. This comes with legal and financial responsibilities which we will ensure you meet, saving you time and ensuring you don’t receive any penalties from HMRC for late or incorrect filing.
2. The sums done for you
We'll calculate tax and national insurance on your behalf, so you can avoid the many pitfalls associated with running your own PAYE scheme and can rest assured that you are not overpaying and that you are complying fully with all relevant legislation.
3. Payslips
We’ll provide detailed payslips to your carer for each pay period. As the employer, you will receive a payroll summary sheet that will detail pay and deduction information, including the amount that you are required to pay to HMRC.
4. HMRC PAYE Registration
We'll register you as an employer with HMRC online, so you don’t need to submit a paper application, and we'll even set up a monthly direct debit between you and HMRC so the employee deductions and employer NI are kept up to date.
5. Streamlined communication with Revenue
As an employer, you are obliged to submit an online return to HMRC at each pay period. We’ll tell you how much to pay and when to pay it, and we’ll field any calls and letters to and from HMRC on your behalf.
6. Improved relationship with your carer
Your carer will be assured that their pay and tax are being properly and promptly calculated and dealt with, promoting trust between you.
7. Free Employee App for your carer
Your carer can enjoy access to the Employee Self-Service app – meaning your carer can securely access their payslips and apply for annual leave easily using their Android or iOS smartphone or device.
8. Help claiming tax relief
You can claim tax relief on the cost of employing a carer if you employ one for either yourself, or for another family member. This includes our fees and the carer’s pay. We can help you with this.
9. Unlimited help and support
Our small team are based on the island of Ireland, so you can call us anytime you have a query or concern related to hiring or paying your carer.
10. Annual summary
We'll provide you with an annual summary of amounts paid and deductions made for your records.
11. Holiday entitlement management
We’ll advise you on how much leave your carer is entitled to, and you can approve and keep track of leave requests from your carer through the secure members' area of our carerpayroll.uk site.
12. Help with Carer onboarding/leaving
We can help streamline the starter/leaver process for your carer, ensuring all paperwork is completed and all legal obligations as an employer are met.
13. Help with tax complexities
We are experts in tax, so can advise you on complexities such as tax allowance splitting.
14. Secure cloud-based data storage
Our service is cloud-based and securely backs-up all your payroll. As you or your carer browse the online dashboards, you are protected against things like data injection, authentication hacking, cross site scripting, exposure flaws, request forgery, and the many other types of vulnerabilities.
15. Account information at your fingertips
All your payroll summaries are stored securely online in one place. You can login to our secure members’ area via carerpayroll.uk, anytime, access all your account information and make any changes you require.
16. Auto-alerts when new payroll information is available
Through our members’ area, you can set up notifications via email to alert you when new payroll information is available
The above are all included as standard with any payroll subscription, starting from £299 for a standard monthly payroll service for one year. For an additional charge of £45 we can offer a tailored employment contract between you and your carer. (It is your legal obligation to make sure your carer has certain key terms within 5 days of commencing employment and to ensure that there is a suitable contract of employment in place within 60 days of your carer commencing employment with you.)
