Buddy - Making Payroll About People

The numbers don’t lie. 💷 The UK payroll industry processes over £301 billion annually in PAYE and NI contributions (CIPP). 📊 82% of UK businesses use payroll data to guide financial and strategic decisions (EY). For payroll bureaus, this goes beyond compliance. You’re responsible for ensuring accurate payslips and the high-quality data your clients depend on to plan their future. Even small errors or delays can have ripple effects, from financial missteps to strained client relationships. - - - - - - - - - To meet these expectations, payroll bureaus need reliable systems. If not, now is the time to adopt tools that ensure accuracy, speed, and integration with your clients’ systems. Is your bureau delivering payroll that businesses can trust? #PayrollBureau #Buddy

When you run a payroll bureau, your software is the backbone of your entire operation. If that system is slow, clunky, or unable to scale, your team and clients will suffer. I’ve worked with payroll bureaus that spent hours fixing errors, addressing capacity issues, and dealing with unhappy clients. The solution is migration to a better system. Here’s what you need to focus on during migration: 1️⃣ Audit your data. Errors, outdated records, or missing details can cause major issues later. 2️⃣ Plan for mid-year challenges. Total-to-date values must be spot-on to avoid HMRC compliance issues. 3️⃣ Test thoroughly. For larger bureaus, running parallel payrolls will catch discrepancies before you go live. 4️⃣ Communicate with clients. Reassure them by explaining how this benefits their business—faster workflows, fewer errors, and better service. The effort you put in pays off with a system that empowers your team and strengthens client trust.

Are you falling into these common migration pitfalls? 👉 Skipping data cleanup, which leads to errors in the new system. 👉 Rushing migration timelines, causing disruptions during peak payroll periods. 👉 Overlooking critical details like pension schemes and court orders. 👉 Failing to run parallel tests before going live. 👉 Poor client communication, leaving them unsure of what to expect.

Payroll might seem like a back-office function, but its impact is front and centre for employees. Here’s what recent data reveals: ➡️ 37% of employees would leave their jobs if they were paid incorrectly, even once. (CIPP) ➡️ 41% of employees say payroll errors erode their trust in their employer. (SD Worx Payroll Survey 2023) ➡️ 44% of employees say accurate payroll is important to their job satisfaction. (CIPP) For payroll bureaus, the stakes couldn’t be clearer. Errors, however small, can cost your clients their best talent, while consistent, accurate payroll builds trust and loyalty. So why should #payroll bureaus care? Because getting payroll right means protecting your clients’ businesses, reputations, and teams. How are you helping your clients protect what matters most?
