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?

You will be given a timetable of when to send in a timesheet detailing the number of hours worked by each of your PAs. You will need to send in any supporting information required but don’t worry we will let you know what that is.

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 fee is paid for each processing period – full details of this can be provided.
