Manchester, UK.
Did you know that 91% of UK businesses admit to making payroll errors every month, while almost three-quarters (72%) still use manual processes for their payroll systems?
In response to a wave of consumer demand, BrightHR, the leading provider of HR and health & safety software, has launched an enhanced all-in-one payroll and HR solution that makes payroll management a breeze.
It’s well-known that fragmented payroll processes cost companies thousands of pounds each year – some losing up to £150,000 – and waste valuable time.
But it’s not just time and money at stake: admin errors, data breaches, and failure to comply with changing pay laws can land businesses in legal hot water, resulting in costly fines and reputational damage.
Getting pay right is a must, but it’s also notoriously difficult. With SSP, minimum wage rates, redundancy pay, and holiday pay rules all changing in the past 12 months – and more changes expected under the new Labour Government – it can be a minefield trying to make sure payroll processes are compliant and deliver as they should.
That’s why BrightHR has invested in an end-to-end payroll solution with full management support, giving HR managers and small business owners time back to focus on what they do best.
Key Features of BrightHR Payroll
Streamlined Payroll Management: Ineffective data management and fragmented processes leave businesses open to pay discrepancies, late fees, and even HMRC enforcement. With BrightHR Payroll, employers can pay their staff accurately and on time, every time, with a software that securely and seamlessly syncs all employee and HR data with payroll.
Legal Compliance Made Easy: Easily keep your pay runs up-to-date and compliant with a system that records overtime, sickness, and unpaid leave and automatically adjusts for all the latest statutory requirements.
Flexibility at Your Fingertips: Payroll runs can be restrictive, especially when there are late changes. BrightHR Payroll puts control back in the hands of the end user with a lock feature to disable automated data transfer and exception management for better error management and risk-free reporting.
