Frequently asked questions about IRIS payroll software

As an employer or payroll service provider, you can use payroll software to automatically manage the process of employee compensation.

The best payroll management software calculates wages, tax deductions, National Insurance contributions, and pensions – all while ensuring compliance with UK regulations. HMRC-recognised payroll software can also streamline payroll tasks like payslip generation, making statutory payments, reporting on payroll data, and Real Time Information (RTI) submissions to HMRC.

Most modern payroll platforms are user-friendly, allowing you to cut back on needless payroll admin, save time, and reduce the risk of payroll errors.
Reliable payroll software is essential for any organisation responsible for paying employees. If you decide to run payroll yourself, you need payroll software that reports to HMRC.  

Whether you employ one person or manage payroll for a large workforce, cloud payroll software helps you meet compliance requirements, calculate employee earnings, make statutory payments, improve efficiency, and simplify payroll management.
