Do I need a payroll service?

If you are a disabled person employing your own Personal Assistants (PAs) we can help you with the processing of their wages and related administration such as dealing with the PA timesheets, tax, national insurance and many other related administration issues.

If you employ your own PAs it is your responsibility to ensure that the correct amount of tax and national insurance is deducted from each of your employee’s wages.

LCiL’s payroll service can do this and a whole lot more for you.

How does it work?

Each month or every four weeks you send in a timesheet detailing the number of hours worked by each of your PAs.

For each of your employees, LCiL will:

- Calculate the total pay.
- Deduct the correct amount of tax and national insurance.
- Calculate any sick pay, maternity pay, or other statutory payments where required.
- Process any wages arrestments, student loans, stakeholder pension contributions.

LCiL will then send back to you:

- A payslip for each employee.
- Payment summary sheets detailing all payments and deductions made.
- An information sheet advising you of the total payments due to HMRC and LCiL for this processing.

What does it cost?

- A one-off payment for each payslip processed (monthly or 4 weekly).
- A one-off set up fee.
- An annual fee to cover RTI administrative processes.

For current charges, contact LCiL.
