How do payroll outsourcing services work?
Instead of handling all your payroll functions in-house—like calculations and deductions, payroll processing, employee payments, and reporting—we’ll handle those tasks for you.
You’re still responsible for providing us with the data we need to process your payroll like new starters, leavers, salary data, pension schemes. You do that in our cloud-based portal, which also gives you access to real-time reporting and variance—without difficult data work—so your data input is safe, fast, and efficient.
Once we’ve got all the correct information to process your payroll, we’ll do the difficult work from there – including processing, validating, BACS, and HMRC filings.

Payroll outsourcing FAQs
What is payroll outsourcing?
Outsourced payroll is the practice of handing over the responsibility of manage your payroll and related tasks to an external service provider, like Cintra. Instead of handling all payroll functions in-house, a specialist service provider will handle those tasks on your behalf. That includes calculations and deductions, payroll processing, employee payments, real-time information reporting, and more.
You and your team are still responsible for providing the outsourced payroll provider with all the relevant information they need to run your payroll in a timely and accurate manner. And they’ll likely provide you with an online payroll portal to do this. In that portal, you’ll need to enter data such as new starters and leavers, salary data, working hours, pension schemes, and so on. Once they’ve got all the correct information to process your payroll, they’ll take the reins and do all the complicated work around calculations, deductions, compliance, and reporting.
How much does it cost to outsource payroll?
Payroll outsourcing costs largely depend on the size of your organisation, as most payroll services work on a price per payslip basis. But there are economies of scale involved. So, the bigger your organisation, the greater your discounted rate.
So, the cost of payroll outsourcing services varies depending on the specific needs of your company, the number of employees you have, and what payroll company you work with.
We’re always on hand to provide you with a no-obligation quote. Simply get in touch with us to chat through your requirements. We’ll provide you with a quote which outlines the cost of outsourcing your payroll to Cintra.
Is outsourcing payroll cost effective?
In short, yes! When you consider the employment and training costs of running your payroll in-house, outsourcing your payroll is absolutely cost effective.
Managing an in-house payroll team means you’ll be covering costs for recruitment, training, salaries, benefits, and everything else that comes with hiring internally. And all those things are much more difficult to budget for. But with outsourcing, the fixed fee or cost per payslip make it much easier to budget for your payroll expenses.
