Online payroll solutions powerful software has been awarded the HMRC payroll accreditation again! After stringent testing and more than 60,000 transactions over 2 days the award has been made. We are obviously very happy that the testing has been successful and that we are able to offer the level of service our agencies and employees come to expect.

Here is some information on the testing we had to undertake:

Payroll Standard

The Payroll Standard helps employers to identify payroll software products or services with the essential features necessary to calculate PAYE, NICs, Statutory Payments and to perform a range of other payroll functions.

Software developers can apply to have their products or services tested against the Payroll Standard. Products that successfully pass the tests and receive accreditation can display the HM Revenue & Customs Payroll Standard logo on their marketing material. Please see the Online Services : Payroll Accreditation Scheme page for details.

The Payroll Standard (PDF 133K) (version 8.1) lists the detailed requirements needed to achieve accreditation. It consists of ‘core’ requirements which all products or services must have and a further 3 optional requirements. To view this document you need to use a PDF file viewer such as Adobe Reader.
