Our Services

Payroll services built around the way you employ

Choose the route that fits the workforce. We run standard employer payroll, construction CIS, PEO, EOR, pensions, RTI and European payroll support without forcing every client into the same model.

Outsourced Payroll

We calculate pay, PAYE, NI, deductions and payslips, then prepare RTI submissions for employer approval and filing.

CIS Payroll

Subcontractors verified, CIS deductions calculated on the right labour element, statements issued and monthly returns kept on track.

European Payroll

Country-by-country payroll support across Europe, including local registrations, tax, social security, statutory benefits and posted-worker checks where needed.

PEO

A co-employment style administration model for UK workforces where RPS handles payroll, HR administration and statutory employment processes while you direct day-to-day work.

Employer of Record

Hire through an RPS employing entity where appropriate. RPS becomes legal employer and runs PAYE, NI, pensions and statutory employment administration.

Auto-Enrolment and RTI

Workplace pension assessment, contribution processing, FPS and EPS reporting aligned with each pay cycle.

Who we are

A payroll partner with enough judgement to say what fits

Payroll mistakes rarely stay small. A missed FPS, the wrong CIS rate, a pension assessment error or a poorly chosen hiring model can create back pay, penalties and difficult worker conversations.

RPS Contracts is built for employers, agencies and international teams that need payroll handled with practical control. We separate the model choice from the processing work: employer payroll where you remain the legal employer, PEO or EOR where a different employment structure is needed, CIS where the construction rules apply, and European payroll where local registration and social security rules need checking.

Model and processing kept separate Employer payroll, CIS, PEO, EOR and pensions in one relationship, with the right rules applied to each group.
Compliance with boundaries RTI and HMRC reporting, auto-enrolment and CIS handled each cycle, with clear employer sign-off where you remain the legal employer.
UK and Europe with local checks European payroll handled country by country, pulled into one clear reporting view.
One accountable team You keep sign-off where the law and the model require it. We run the payroll engine, deadlines, records and reporting.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most common questions about how we work.

RPS Contracts runs outsourced payroll, CIS payroll, PEO, Employer of Record, RTI and HMRC reporting, auto-enrolment and European payroll support. The right service depends on who you pay, where they work and who needs to be the legal employer.

Yes. In an outsourced payroll arrangement, you remain the employer. RPS calculates pay, deductions and reports, prepares payslips and handles the payroll cycle, while you keep approval and legal employer responsibility.

Yes, on a country-by-country basis. European payroll depends on local registration, employment law, tax, social security and statutory benefits. We help choose the route and manage the payroll process without treating Europe as one rule set.
