Leeds-based Cheney Payroll Services has revealed that the UK’s 247,000 small and medium sized businesses can benefit from significant cost savings by engaging a specialist payroll bureau service, rather than tackling pay and remuneration in-house.
The rapidly contracting economy is compelling business owners to scrutinise every outgoing and make cost savings wherever possible. With businesses facing tough times ahead, SMEs can make huge savings by outsourcing their payroll function to specialists.

Why is Payroll So Complicated?
Payroll can be fraught with complex detail at the best of times. Rapidly changing legislation, taxes, absences, minimum wage changes, leave, pensions can be demanding, even when it’s “business as usual.”
What’s Different Now?
The added pressure of frequently changing legislation since lockdown, has added another set of hurdles for SME bosses who manage payroll in-house.
Martyn Cheney MD of Cheney Payroll Services: “Payroll is an ever-changing landscape. Never have we seen more change in our field than during the current crisis. New legislation, and interpretations of regulations are forthcoming almost daily, and it’s nigh-on impossible for business owners to keep up.”
