Payroll & Pensions

Payroll that lands
in the ledger.

Payroll run in a separate system is payroll you have to reconcile. Qwikr runs it against the same accounts, posts the journals on approval and files the submissions from the run itself.

Everything a UK pay run needs

Built for the full cycle — starters and leavers, statutory pay, pensions, CIS and year end — not just the arithmetic in the middle.

Pay runs that post themselves

Weekly, fortnightly, four-weekly or monthly. Approve the run and the journals hit the ledger — no export, no re-keying, no month-end reconciliation between two systems.

RTI submissions

FPS and EPS built from the run itself, with the submission log kept against the period so you can prove what went and when.

Auto-enrolment and pensions

Assess every worker against the earnings and age thresholds each period, and file contributions to NEST directly.

CIS

Subcontractor verification, deduction at the right rate, monthly CIS returns and the statements subcontractors need.

Statutory forms

P45s on leaving, P60s at year end, and P11D benefit reporting handled in the same place as the payroll it relates to.

Payroll bureau mode

Batch a whole client book: run, review and submit across many employers in one pass rather than opening each in turn.

Employee self-service

Payslips, P60s and documents delivered to an employee portal and pushed to the mobile app, instead of emailed as PDFs.

Statutory pay

Sick, maternity, paternity and holiday handled within the run, with the entitlement calculated rather than typed in.

Corrections without drama

Amend a completed period and the correcting submission, the journals and the payslips all follow from the same change.

Pay run

One approval, four things done

In a typical stack, approving a pay run is the start of the work. The journal gets exported and imported. The submission gets made in a second tool. Payslips get emailed. The pension file gets uploaded somewhere else. Four steps, four chances to forget one.

Here approval is the end of it. The journals post, the FPS is prepared, the payslips publish to the portal and app, and the pension contributions are filed — from the run you just approved.

  • Journals posted to the ledger, not exported to it
  • FPS and EPS built from the approved run
  • Payslips published to the employee portal and mobile app

A whole client book in one pass

A practice running payroll for eighty employers does not want eighty logins. Bureau mode batches the cycle: prepare every run, review the ones that changed, and submit the batch.

Clients whose figures are identical to last period are surfaced as such, so attention goes to the ones with a starter, a leaver or a variation — which is where the mistakes actually live.

  • Batch prepare, review and submit across many employers
  • Exceptions surfaced first — starters, leavers and variations
  • Per-client approval retained where the client wants to approve
  • One log covering every submission in the batch

Questions, answered

Rates, thresholds and bands are held as configuration per tax year rather than hard-coded, so a new year is a configuration update rather than a release. Confirm the current year is loaded for your first live run — we will do that with you during onboarding.

Not yet — bureau mode is coming soon. It will batch pay runs across many employers so a practice can process the book in one sitting instead of opening each client separately. Until it is ready it is not on sale, and payroll is run one client at a time.

NEST is integrated directly. Other providers are supported through their standard contribution file formats. Tell us who you use and we will confirm before you commit.

They post to the ledger automatically when the run is approved — gross pay, employer NI, pension, net pay and the liabilities — so the payroll control accounts reconcile because they were never separate in the first place.

Yes. Each employee gets their own portal access, and their payslips are there when a run is published. Nothing is emailed as an attachment.
