Payroll Processing during COVID-19

Many owner managed businesses will have faced unique changes to their payroll processes as a result of COVID-19 and at times, the changes have been overwhelming. Our payroll team have worked diligently to guide our clients through the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS), how to manage furlough payments and keep records, and offered ongoing support on sickness claims and managing holiday leave during the crisis, whilst closely monitoring HMRC changes and guidelines.

The Furlough scheme alone has had a significant impact on payroll processing, with the Government having paid out approximately £40bn (figures up until September 2020).  At Bryden Johnson we have processed some 573 claims amounting to £4m.

As we head into 2021 it’s the perfect opportunity to review the implementation of new systems and alternative work patterns that have changed due to the crisis, and it’s worth considering outsourcing your payroll function. Some of the benefits are outlined below.
