IPASS CERTIFIED SPECIALISTS

Most providers give you one or the other. An HR consultancy that outsources the payroll, or a payroll bureau that cannot answer an employment law question. HR Buddy runs both in house: CIPD-qualified HR advisors alongside IPASS-certified payroll specialists, working from the same employee records. When a contract change affects a payslip, nobody has to ring anybody.

Can You Run Your Own Payroll?

The Challenge

It’s certainly possible to manage the payroll process for your business.
However, running your own payroll involves complex processes, from PAYE registration to filing monthly returns with Revenue.
You must accurately calculate and deduct income tax, Universal Social Charge (USC), Pay Related Social Insurance (PRSI), and Local Property Tax (LPT).
Non-compliance may result in financial penalties and interest.

The Solution

While it is possible to manage your payroll system independently, it requires meticulous attention to detail and adhering to deadlines.
Consider outsourcing payroll to experts like HR Buddy for peace of mind, time savings, correct payments and enhanced security.
Working with HR payroll professionals means you will be compliant with ever-evolving Revenue regulations, allowing you to focus on your business.
