Payroll Services in Essex

Managing payroll is one of those jobs that sounds simple until you actually have to do it. Tax codes change. National Insurance thresholds shift. RTI submissions need to go to HMRC on time, every single pay run. Get any of it wrong and you face penalties.

If you employ people in your business, your payroll needs to be right. We make sure it is.

What our payroll service includes

Bentley Admin provides a complete managed payroll service for small businesses across Essex. We process your payroll accurately and on time so you never have to worry about missed deadlines or incorrect calculations.

Our payroll service includes:

• Calculating Tax and National Insurance for every employee, every pay run
• Preparing and issuing payslips so your staff always know what they have been paid and why
• RTI submissions to HMRC filed on or before pay day, every time
• Year-end returns including P60s for all employees
• Statutory payments including Statutory Sick Pay, Maternity Pay and Paternity Pay
• Holiday pay calculations based on your employees’ entitlement
• New starter and leaver processing including P45s

You tell us the hours your staff have worked and we handle everything else. It really is that straightforward.

Who this is for

Our payroll service is designed for:

• Small businesses with 1 to 50 employees who need reliable, accurate payroll
• Business owners who are currently doing payroll themselves and want their time back
• Companies that have been caught out by HMRC for late or incorrect submissions
• Growing businesses that are taking on their first employees and need to get payroll set up correctly from the start

Whether you run a team of 3 or 30, the process is the same. We handle the numbers, you focus on your business. If you work in construction and hire subcontractors, you may also need our CIS returns service alongside payroll.

How it works

We start with a free consultation to understand your business, your team size, your pay frequency and any specific requirements. We then set up your payroll and take it from there.

Each pay run, you provide us with the hours or salary details. We calculate everything, send payslips to your employees and submit the RTI return to HMRC. You get a clear summary of what has been processed and what you need to pay.

If an employee joins, leaves or changes their hours, you let us know and we update everything. No fuss, no confusion.

Why accurate payroll matters

Payroll errors affect your employees directly. Late payslips, incorrect tax codes or wrong deductions damage trust and cause unnecessary stress for your team. From a compliance perspective, late RTI submissions to HMRC can result in automatic penalties.

We have been running payroll for Essex businesses since 2007. We stay current with every legislative change so your payroll is always compliant. Our bookkeeping service works alongside payroll to keep all your financial records in one place.

We serve businesses across Colchester, Ipswich, Harwich and the wider Essex area. There are no long-term contracts. You get accurate, reliable payroll from a local team that knows what they are doing.
