Charity payroll services need the same disciplined calculations, records, deadlines and HMRC reporting as any employer payroll. Purely Payroll supports charities that want a defined process for routine pay runs, employee documents and agreed payroll reporting.
We review your employee numbers, pay frequency, pension arrangements, normal payroll changes and required outputs before confirming the service. Your authorised contact supplies complete and approved payroll information by the agreed cut-off.
What charity payroll support can include
Depending on the agreed package, Purely Payroll can provide:
- gross-to-net payroll calculations;
- PAYE and National Insurance calculations;
- Real Time Information submissions to HMRC;
- employee payslips;
- starter and leaver processing;
- P45 and P60 production where required;
- statutory payments and agreed deductions;
- workplace pension and automatic-enrolment payroll support; and
- agreed payroll summaries or reports.
The exact service is recorded before onboarding. Charity tax advice, grant reporting, fund accounting, HR advice and legal advice are not part of routine payroll processing unless a separate service has been expressly agreed.
A clear monthly or weekly payroll process
We can discuss monthly or weekly charity payroll where the frequency, timetable and data requirements fit the service. Each payroll calendar sets out when approved changes are due, when outputs are reviewed and when final approval is needed.
Common changes can include new starters, leavers, salary or hours changes, statutory leave, pension changes and agreed deductions. Your charity remains responsible for the underlying employment decisions, source information and approval of the payroll data supplied.
If your charity also needs bookkeeping support, see our bookkeeping services in Hull and East Yorkshire page. Bookkeeping and payroll scopes are quoted and agreed separately.
How moving charity payroll works
1. Review the current payroll
We confirm the PAYE scheme, employee numbers, pay frequency, pension arrangements, regular changes and required reports.
2. Agree responsibilities and deadlines
We document who provides information, who can approve payroll and when each stage must be completed.
3. Collect the required records
You provide the agreed year-to-date and employee information, authorisations and current payroll documents.
4. Prepare the first routine run
We complete the agreed setup checks and resolve questions before routine payroll processing begins.
Our switching payroll providers page explains the handover in more detail. You can also review the broader outsourced payroll service.
Why use Purely Payroll?
Purely Payroll is led by Sarah Meek MCIPPdip, AICB PM.dip and focuses on giving employers a clear payroll process with agreed responsibilities and deadlines. We confirm the charity payroll scope and quote before onboarding, rather than assuming that every organisation needs the same package.
Frequently asked questions
Can you provide payroll for a registered charity?
Yes. Charity payroll services are available where the PAYE scheme, employee data, frequency and required scope are agreed before onboarding.
Can you process weekly and monthly payrolls?
We can discuss both frequencies. Suitability depends on employee numbers, the payroll calendar and the services required.
Do you support workplace pensions and automatic enrolment?
Routine pension and automatic-enrolment payroll support can be included in the agreed scope. Any scheme-specific administration must be confirmed separately.
Does the service include charity accounting or tax advice?
No. Routine payroll processing does not include charity tax, legal, grant-reporting or fund-accounting advice unless a separate service is expressly agreed.
What do you need to provide a quote?
We need your employee numbers, pay frequency, current pension arrangements, required reports and intended start date.
