FAQ
No such thing as a bad question.
How can payroll software reduce manual work for finance teams?
How can payroll software reduce manual work for finance teams?
We take on the parts of payroll that eat into your month: collecting variable pay data, checking it, and preparing the run. Our payroll specialists review every pay run alongside you, so what lands in your inbox is ready to approve, not a spreadsheet to untangle. Payfit reports 90% of payroll-related tasks automated for its customers, freeing your team to focus on forecasting and reporting instead of data entry.
Does payroll software handle HMRC RTI submissions automatically?
Does payroll software handle HMRC RTI submissions automatically?
Yes. Every Full Payment Submission and Employer Payment Summary is prepared and sent on your behalf, on time, every pay run. Missing a deadline carries real cost: HMRC charges a monthly penalty of £100 to £400 depending on headcount for late or missing submissions. Our team monitors each RTI submission and flags anything that needs your attention before it becomes a problem.
How does payroll software work with accounting software like Xero and QuickBooks?
How does payroll software work with accounting software like Xero and QuickBooks?
Your payroll journals are formatted and mapped to the right codes automatically, ready to sync with Xero, QuickBooks, Sage and NetSuite through our integrations. No re-keying figures, no formatting fixes before month-end close. It's built so your finance stack talks to your payroll data without extra manual steps.
Can payroll software manage pension scheme submissions?
Can payroll software manage pension scheme submissions?
Yes. We submit pension data automatically to major providers, including Nest, People's Pension, Smart Pension and Aviva, each month (in real time for Nest). Eligibility checks, enrolment letters and contribution calculations are handled for you, so pension duties stop being a separate task on your to-do list.
What reporting features should finance teams look for in payroll software?
What reporting features should finance teams look for in payroll software?
Look for pre-built templates for the reports you run every month (pension contributions, salary breakdowns), the ability to build and save custom reports, and a source of truth you can trust for month-end close. This matters most when reconciling your payroll journal against the general ledger and bank statements, where mismatches cost time to chase down. Ask Payfit AI to summarise a period or flag anomalies in plain English, and get to the detail faster than searching through spreadsheets.
Can payroll software handle employee expenses without chasing receipts?
Can payroll software handle employee expenses without chasing receipts?
Employees submit expenses through their own portal, and your team reviews them in one place before they flow into the next pay run. This keeps your expenses management process compliant with HMRC's "wholly and exclusively" rule and removes the back-and-forth of paper receipts and email chains.
How does payroll software help manage the Apprenticeship Levy?
How does payroll software help manage the Apprenticeship Levy?
Employers with an annual payroll above £3 million pay the Apprenticeship Levy at 0.5% of their pay bill, and it's tracked and calculated automatically as part of your monthly employer payment record. Several finance teams only discover this obligation once they've crossed the threshold. Our specialists check this for you, so it doesn't come as a surprise at year-end.
