MANAGED PAYROLL SERVICE

Managed payroll, run by specialists, with you in control

Hand your payroll to Nxsys. A named payroll specialist runs every pay run end to end on our own platform, from inputs to payslips, statutory submissions and bank files. We ask for your approval only when it's needed, and you see everything as it happens. For organisations in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

WHAT WE RUN

Everything a pay run needs, handled for you

We take on the whole payroll cycle, not just the calculation. You send changes, and we deliver an approved, filed and paid payroll.

01

Pay run processing

We collect inputs, process gross to net, check the results against your previous period and send the pay run for your approval when it's needed.

02

Statutory submissions

We file RTI with HMRC in the UK and payroll submissions with Revenue in Ireland, on time, every period.

03

Pensions

We run auto-enrolment in the UK and My Future Fund in Ireland, including assessments, contributions and provider files.

04

Payslips and documents

Employees get payslips, P60s and other documents in the Nxsys app and portal, white-labelled with your brand if you wish.

05

Starters, leavers and changes

We set up new starters, process leavers and apply pay changes, so records stay right between pay runs.

06

Year end and reporting

We handle year-end tasks and give you the reports finance needs: payroll journals, cost-centre reports and pension summaries.

HOW IT WORKS

The same five steps, every pay period

1
Send your data

Send hours, starters, leavers and pay changes by spreadsheet or through the API, or enter them in Nxsys.

2
We process

Your specialist runs gross to net on the Nxsys engine, then checks variances against the previous period and flags anything unusual.

3
You approve, if needed

We send you the draft payroll for approval only when it's needed. The summary and reports are always in the employer portal.

4
We confirm and pay

We confirm the payroll, download the bank file and pay your workers on your behalf. Payroll data is needed six hours before payments.

5
Payslips, filing, report

Payslip emails go out and employees view them in the app. We file with HMRC (FPS, EPS and CIS where applicable) or Revenue, send pension files and your custom report.

ONBOARDING

From contract to first pay day

Moving payroll is a project, and we run it as one. A dedicated onboarding lead plans every step with you.

1
Design

We map your entities, pay schedules, pay elements, approval chain and integrations.

2
Migrate

We load employees and year-to-date figures from your current system, and check them with you.

3
Parallel run

We run Nxsys alongside your current payroll and reconcile the results line by line.

4
Go live

Your first live pay run, with your named specialist on hand.

Moving mid-year? We bring over year-to-date figures, so you don't need to wait for the tax year end.

WHO IT'S FOR

Built for organisations that want payroll off their desk

Growing businesses

No payroll team yet, or one person covering it. We run it, and check with you when a decision is needed.

Mid-size and enterprise

Several entities, pay schedules and approval steps, run by one team that knows them.

In-house teams under pressure

Cover for a team stretched by growth, leave or a system change, without hiring.

UK and Irish operations

Run both countries' payrolls with one provider and one service agreement.

Prefer to run payroll yourself?

Use the Nxsys platform with your own team, and move to the managed service later without changing system.

FAQ

Managed payroll questions

Want to see how it would run for you? Speak to Nxsys.

01What is a managed payroll service?

It is payroll run for you by a provider. With Nxsys, a named specialist runs every pay run on our platform, and asks for your approval whenever a decision is needed.

02How is it different from using Nxsys software?

With the software, your team runs payroll in Nxsys. With the managed service, our specialist runs it on the same platform and checks with you when a decision is needed. You can move between the two without changing system.

03Do we stay in control?

Yes. You can see every change, payslip, report and submission in the employer portal, and we ask for your approval whenever a decision is needed.

04Do you file with HMRC and Revenue?

Yes. We file RTI with HMRC for UK payrolls and payroll submissions with Revenue for Irish payrolls, every period.

05Can you run both UK and Irish payrolls?

Yes. We run both from one platform, under one service agreement.

06How long does it take to move to Nxsys?

It depends on the number of entities and integrations. Your onboarding lead agrees a plan with you, including a parallel run before go-live.

07Can we move mid-year?

Yes. We bring over year-to-date figures from your current system.

08Who answers our employees' payslip questions?

Employees see their payslips in the Nxsys app. Queries go to your HR team or to our specialists, depending on the service you choose.

09How is the managed service priced?

It is quoted for each organisation, based on the number of employees, entities and pay frequencies. Speak to Nxsys for a proposal.

10How do you keep our data secure?

Nxsys is certified to ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials, and data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Your security team can request our security pack.
