Workplace pension auto-enrolment is a legal responsibility for employers across the UK. Since the introduction of automatic enrolment, businesses have been required to assess employee eligibility, enrol qualifying staff into a workplace pension scheme, calculate contributions accurately and maintain detailed pension records. These responsibilities continue throughout the employment lifecycle and must be managed alongside payroll every pay period.
For many employers, workplace pension administration adds another layer of complexity to payroll. Pension legislation, contribution thresholds and reporting requirements continue to evolve, making it increasingly important to ensure payroll and pension administration work seamlessly together.
Advo provides professional auto-enrolment pension payroll services for businesses throughout Kent, helping employers manage workplace pension responsibilities accurately, efficiently and in line with current legislation. Our payroll specialists integrate pension administration directly into your payroll process, reducing administration while helping your business remain compliant.
Whether your organisation is based in Maidstone, Aylesford, Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells, Medway, Ashford, Canterbury, Sevenoaks, Dartford or anywhere across Kent, our experienced payroll professionals provide dependable workplace pension support tailored to your business.
Real Time Information (RTI) is HMRC’s system for collecting payroll information from employers.
Instead of submitting payroll information once a year, employers must now report employee pay, PAYE deductions, National Insurance Contributions and other payroll information every time employees are paid.
RTI enables HMRC to maintain accurate employee tax records while helping ensure statutory payments and workplace pension information are administered correctly.
Professional RTI payroll management helps businesses remain compliant while reducing the risk of reporting errors.
Accurate RTI reporting is an essential legal responsibility for every employer. Each payroll submission contributes to an employee’s tax record and ensures HMRC receives up-to-date payroll information throughout the tax year.
Incorrect or late submissions can lead to:
Working with experienced payroll specialists helps reduce these risks while ensuring payroll reporting is completed accurately and on schedule.
Advo provides a comprehensive RTI reporting service as part of our managed payroll offering.
Our services include:
Every submission is reviewed carefully before being sent, helping ensure payroll information remains accurate throughout the tax year.
A Full Payment Submission (FPS) is the primary report sent to HMRC each time employees are paid.
The FPS includes important payroll information such as:
Submitting an accurate FPS is essential for maintaining payroll compliance and ensuring employee tax records remain up to date.
Advo prepares and submits Full Payment Submissions on behalf of businesses throughout Kent, helping employers meet reporting deadlines with confidence.
In certain circumstances, employers are required to submit an Employer Payment Summary (EPS) to HMRC.
An EPS may be required to report information including:
Understanding when an EPS is required can be confusing for employers managing payroll internally.
Our payroll specialists ensure Employer Payment Summaries are submitted correctly whenever required, helping businesses remain compliant while avoiding unnecessary administration.
