Payroll reviews

Payroll reviews

We review payroll systems to ensure compliance with the Holidays Act 2003 and that employers are meeting their obligations. In particular the payment of annual leave, sick leave, bereavement leave and statutory holidays.

Where errors are found we are also able to calculate required remediation amounts. Often it comes down to a payroll system not being set up correctly so ticking the wrong box can lead to systemic issues.

Situations where we can help: 

  1. Where an employer wants comfort that they are meeting their obligations under the Holidays Act 2003. 
  2. Where an individual employee has questioned the validity of their leave payments.
  3. Where a systemic issue has been found and a remediation calculation is required. 
  4. Where a new payroll system is being implemented and the employer wishes to ensure that it has been set up correctly. 
  5. Where there are inconsistencies between payroll set up and commitments in employment agreements. 

High-risk payrolls where errors are commonly found: 

  • Where employees receive regular allowances, commission payments or bonuses.
  • Where employees regularly work overtime and on statutory holidays.
  • Where employees are part-time or work highly variable hours.
