A smooth, simple start to stress-free payroll

Starting payroll with a new provider can feel daunting—but it doesn’t have to be. At Payroll Options, we’ve built our service around one core idea: make payroll simple.

Here’s what getting started with us looks like—and why our clients say switching was easier than they thought.

Step 1: We Keep It Simple

We guide you through each part of the setup, from the initial forms to your first pay run. You’ll receive our Getting Started Guide, which clearly outlines what we need and why.

Don’t worry about jargon—we keep things clear and explain as we go.

Step 2: A Personal Touch

We’re not a faceless bureau. You’ll have real people looking after your payroll—people who know your business and respond quickly when you need support.

All our support and processing is UK-based, and your calls are answered directly by our payroll team in Milton Keynes—not outsourced to a call centre. You’ll always get knowledgeable help when you need it.

Step 3: Fully Compliant, Fully Covered

Our experts handle everything from PAYE setup and auto-enrolment to pensions, statutory pay, and reporting to HMRC. We stay on top of the latest legislation, so you don’t have to.

And when it comes to your data, we don’t take shortcuts. All data is processed, stored, and supported entirely in the UK, fully compliant with GDPR and UK data protection regulations. No overseas data processing. No grey areas.

Step 4: Fast, Accurate, and Flexible

Once your setup is complete, your payroll runs will be fast, accurate, and tailored to your business. We support weekly, monthly, four-weekly, and even multiple pay frequencies—and can handle BACS payments, payslips (online or printed), and detailed reporting.

You’ll always know what’s due and when.
