Employers in Manchester
Manchester has one of the fastest-growing employer bases outside London, with a lot of businesses crossing the headcount thresholds — auto-enrolment, TUPE, the first redundancy — for the first time.
Payroll is priced per payslip, so the number that matters is your headcount multiplied by pay frequency. Weekly payroll for 20 staff is four times the work of monthly payroll for 20 staff.

Common questions
How much does outsourced payroll cost?
Roughly £3 to £5 per payslip, with most bureaux setting a monthly minimum of £45 to £60. Auto-enrolment setup is usually a one-off charge on top.
Can I switch provider mid-year?
Yes. You need the year-to-date figures, tax codes, NI categories and pension history from the outgoing provider. Ask for them before you give notice.
Who is responsible if payroll is filed late?
You are. HMRC penalties fall on the employer, not the bureau, so check what their engagement letter says about errors.
Figures are a guide and exclude VAT. Government fees change — check the current amount before you budget.
