Payroll Services

Payroll outsourcing is becoming an increasingly popular solution to fulfilling the payroll function. With changing and more complex rules and regulations, the requirements placed on a payroll department are becoming increasingly burdensome. Payroll processing has many complications, e.g. SMP, SSP, Pensions, Student Loans etc, and for many organisations requires a high degree of confidentiality. Payroll outsourcing ensures all these criteria are satisfied in an efficient and cost effective manner, without the need to tie up valuable resources in a payroll department, no longer needing to employ specialised staff, or spend management time on the payroll function. Additionally the need to complete and reconcile statutory year-end returns (P35s and P60s) can place a disproportional strain on business resources.
Outsourcing the payroll function will alleviate this workload., MAS Associates payroll outsourcing service allows you to concentrate on your business activities in the knowledge that payrolls will be processed efficiently and on time, all legislation will be complied with and confidentiality maintained.
