We calculate the pay run, PAYE, NI, deductions and payslips, then prepare the RTI reporting. You keep sign-off as the employer.
Outsourced payroll means RPS runs the payroll process on your behalf. We calculate gross pay, PAYE, National Insurance, pension deductions, statutory deductions and net pay. We prepare payslips, payroll reports and RTI submissions.
You remain the legal employer. That matters. Outsourcing payroll does not move employer responsibility unless you enter a separate employment model. Your team still approves the pay run, confirms payroll inputs and keeps ultimate employer responsibility. RPS takes on the processing, timetable, checks and reporting workflow.
What you get:
Pay, tax, National Insurance and deductions calculated correctly, with payslips issued every period.
FPS prepared on or before each payday, with EPS prepared where adjustments apply.
A single view of every pay run, with one named contact who knows your account.
For teams that employ workers directly and want the payroll cycle run cleanly, plus accountancy and recruitment firms that need payroll processing support.
For teams that employ workers directly and want the payroll cycle run cleanly without losing control.
For firms that want payroll processing support while keeping client ownership and review.
For agencies running PAYE payroll for placed or internal staff, with separate handling for agency-worker obligations where relevant.
Built around what UK employers actually need from a payroll partner.
Every pay run needs the right inputs, tax codes, deductions and sign-off. We build the process around checks before release.
Payroll dates, FPS timing, EPS requirements and pension submissions are tracked in one calendar.
You receive the payroll reports needed to approve pay, understand employer costs and answer worker questions.
If you stay the employer, we say so. If PEO or EOR is needed, we treat that as a different service.
RTI, auto-enrolment and statutory pay handled as part of the agreed service, aligned to each pay cycle.
Accountants and agencies can present payroll under their own brand while we do the work behind the scenes.
Payroll costs hide in two places: the software subscription and the hours someone in your team spends running the pay run each week. Our calculator puts both next to the RPS per-worker fee so you can see the full picture in under a minute.
