Sheffield has always been a city that makes things. From the steel and cutlery that built its name to today's advanced manufacturing, engineering firms and a fast-growing tech and services sector, the Steel City is full of employers with staff to pay. We run payroll for businesses across Sheffield, from our office in Pontypridd, South Wales, so you can get on with the work that actually pays the bills.

The employers we run payroll for in Sheffield

Sheffield's economy is broad and getting broader. Precision engineering and metals firms still sit at its heart, many of them small and medium-sized businesses supplying the aerospace and automotive industries from workshops around Attercliffe, Tinsley and the Advanced Manufacturing Park out towards Rotherham. Alongside them, the city has built a genuine services and digital economy, with software companies, agencies and professional firms clustered around Kelham Island, the city centre and the two universities.

That mix means a real spread of payroll needs. A machine shop may run weekly pay with overtime and shift premiums, a growing software business may pay salaried staff monthly with a workplace pension, and a hospitality or retail operation may juggle part-time hours that change every week. We look after all of it, and the same is true for firms across Rotherham, Barnsley and Doncaster.

How remote, digital payroll works

You do not need a payroll bureau on your doorstep to get a personal service. Everything we do runs securely online. You send us hours, starters, leavers and any changes each pay period, and we process the run, and file your Real Time Information (RTI) with HMRC online on or before payday. We produce your payslips and reports and send them to you each pay period, ready for you to pay your team. Payslips are delivered through a secure online portal, so your team can access them wherever they are.

Being remote does not mean being anonymous. You get a named contact who knows your account and your business, reachable by phone and email. Most Sheffield clients find that a dedicated person who answers quickly beats a local office they never actually visit. We have run payroll for UK businesses since 2006, and much of our new work comes on the recommendation of existing clients.

What we handle for you

We take on the whole payroll job so nothing lands back on your desk. That includes processing weekly, fortnightly, four-weekly or monthly pay runs; calculating tax, National Insurance, student loans and statutory pay such as sick, maternity and paternity; and filing RTI accurately with HMRC. We manage pension auto-enrolment and re-enrolment, upload contributions to your provider, and keep you compliant as thresholds change.

We also produce clear payslips and P60s, handle P45s for leavers and P11Ds where needed, and take care of year-end. If you would rather hand the lot over, our outsourced payroll service does exactly that, with your dedicated contact managing it end to end.

Transparent pricing and free switching

Our pricing is simple and honest. Payroll is one fixed price of £5 per employee, per month, plus VAT, with no long tie-ins and no surprise add-ons. You will know exactly what you are paying before you commit, and the fee covers processing, RTI filing, payslips and your named contact. You can see how it works on our pricing page.

Switching to us is free and straightforward. We handle the move from your current provider or in-house system, transfer your year-to-date figures, and make sure nothing is missed, whatever point in the tax year you join. As a CIPP-member bureau, ICAEW-affiliated and registered with the ICO for data protection, and with team members who hold CIPP qualifications, your payroll and your people's data are in safe hands.

We've been using Gareth and the team for many years for our payroll. Great efficient service and prompt replies. I also find them very cost effective. They were particularly supportive with the Job Retention Scheme.

Nora and her team have dealt with our payroll since we opened in 2008, always patiently explaining things I don't understand. Flawless service, always on hand, efficient and professional.

Absolutely brilliant, I couldn't do payroll without Nora and her team. Throughout the pandemic they administered all of my furlough payments and I have not had to worry about any of it.
Rachel Luntz

We have been a client of Nora (EPS) since 2006, we have always received first class service and support throughout this time. Supportive and professional.
