Outsourcing Payroll Management


  • Why should I outsource my payroll?

    Payroll is one of the best business processes to outsource since it is regular and predictable needing both specialist knowledge and software to be fully legally compliant. Few businesses would invest in their own vehicle maintenance, since it is easier and more cost effective to outsource to a specialist, your time and effort is better spent on activity that earns a profit.

  • Do I need to install software on my computer?

    While many suppliers claim to be outsource payroll providers they often just provide you with software and expect you to “Do It Yourself” at LivePay we do it for you but you have access to our web portals so that you can easily tell us anything that is different for this payroll. All the payroll data is stored securely on our systems but available to authorised people with internet access.

  • Whose software do you use?

    Unlike many service providers we use our own. Central Computer Management Ltd underpins the LivePay service and have been writing payroll software for over 40 years. With a long pedigree in both the large system mainframe world as well as over 15 years of web experience our systems are designed with ease of use and security as top priorities. Our software is HMRC recognised and compliant.

  • How secure is your service?

    Unlike many service providers we do not need to receive data by email (always a security risk) and nor do we return anything, even payslips, by email. Many systems email payslips to employees, this is inherently insecure even if password protected as the passwords have to be pre-allocated (often birth date) and cannot be changed by the employee. Our web portal is fully secure using the latest encryption protocols and ensures safe password formats and allows employees to change their own password. In addition we will only discuss your payroll with approved contacts within your organisation and have an authorisation process that keeps you in control.

  • How do we use LivePay?

    You or an authorised person will have secure, password protected access to the managers portal on LivePay. You will be able to add and remove employees, change basic employee information such as address, name change, bank detail changes etc. In addition you will be able to enter employee hours, change of salary and wage levels, hours worked, overtime and commission payments. But over all of this you have unrestricted access to our support team without an automated phone system getting in the way and with no “on hold” music.

  • Can we customise the reports?

    Yes. The system has a number of standard reports, in text, spreadsheet and PDF format for you to download (and print) whenever you want. You do not need to contact us for a report as they are always available. If you would prefer a report in a different layout or format you can use the ad-hoc report writer. If this is going to be a regular report you can add it to run automatically every pay period. Our Support Team are on hand to help and guide you if you cannot find what you are looking for in the reports.

  • How long does it take to set up my payroll on LivePay?

    This is dependent on a number of factors including size of payroll, quality of data received and length of wait for information from your current provider. Generally we quote 4-5 weeks all things being equal. Larger payrolls will probably take longer due to the amount of testing involved. We will always run at least one parallel payroll before going “live”.
