Payroll Service

If you employ your own personal assistant the tax office will expect you to account for tax and national insurance on your employees wages. You will also be required to give your employee a record of the payments you make to them and the deductions from those payments. You may be perfectly able and willing to do this yourself, but we realise that for some it may be a daunting task.

Compass Disability Services operates a payroll service. This service is free to all Direct Payment users (as it is covered by our contract with Wiltshire County Council). People who receive Independent Living Fund and no Direct Payment should be able to obtain funding from the Independent Living Fund to cover the charges. We can also provide a Payroll Service for people who fund their own care. For a schedule of our charges click here.

For users of our Payroll service we provide the following:

• A payroll run on a four weekly or monthly basis
• Hours can be notified to us each time, either by phone or email
• Automatically produced payslips if your personal assistants always work the same hours
• A summary of the payments you need to make to the tax office
• Clear instructions on what forms you need from new employees
• Preparation of P45s when employees leave
• Completion of end of year returns
• Online submission of end of year returns to the tax office
• Advice on payroll related issues, such as holiday pay (although users need to keep records of holiday taken)

If you are interested in using our Payroll Service, or have any questions, please call us on 0844 984 2828
