Auto enrolment finally stopped worrying me

Copilot caught a net pay that had moved 40 percent before I committed. HMRC notices come straight into the pay run.

Pros

Copilot caught a net pay that had moved 40 percent before I committed.

Cons

Corrections to a previous period are more awkward than they should be.

Fine until you need complexity

Mixed. No payroll training and I have never missed an RTI deadline, but CIS subcontractors are not handled here, which confused us at first.

Pay run takes ten minutes now

Copilot caught a net pay that had moved 40 percent before I committed, and payslips self serve so nobody emails me asking for one. Reporting is basic if your accountant wants detail, but we live with it.

Pros

Fine until you need complexity

No payroll training and I have never missed an RTI deadline. Only real gripe is that not enough depth if you run multiple pay frequencies.

Anomaly checking earns its keep

A pay run for twelve people takes about ten minutes, and no payroll training and I have never missed an RTI deadline. The five employee inclusion means the real cost is higher than the headline, but we live with it.
