Simple Payroll Management Software for UK Businesses
Run payroll with less manual work and more control.
Managing payroll involves more than paying salaries. You need to keep employee pay details updated, account for allowances and deductions, review working hours and maintain accurate payroll records. ConnectSimpli payroll management software brings these tasks together in one connected system.
Calculate employee pay using your configured payroll rules, review each pay run and manage payroll information without relying on scattered spreadsheets. Keep payroll connected with your employee records and other HR data to make the process easier to manage.
Core HR is free for up to 5 employees No card required No setup fees
Everything you need to manage payroll in one place.
ConnectSimpli brings the main parts of payroll management together, helping your business organise employee pay information and reduce repeated data entry.
Set your payroll rules and simplify each pay run.
Payroll becomes harder to manage as your business adds employees, departments and different pay arrangements. ConnectSimpli helps you organise payroll rules and employee pay information in one system, reducing the need to repeat manual calculations and enter the same information across several files.
Configure your pay structures and payroll schedules, then use the system to process payroll in bulk and review the results before approval.
- Bulk payroll processing: Manage payroll for multiple employees in a single run.
- Flexible pay cycles: Support monthly, weekly and custom payroll schedules.
- Connected pay information: Bring relevant allowances, deductions and other configured pay items into payroll.
- Payroll status tracking: Review the progress of a payroll run from one dashboard.
- Pay review: Check employee salary information and payroll totals before completing a run.
By keeping payroll information together, your team can spend less time on repetitive admin and more time checking that employee pay is correct.
Manage payroll with clearer records and reporting.
UK payroll requires businesses to manage employee pay, tax information and applicable statutory deductions carefully. ConnectSimpli supports UK payroll processes, including HMRC Real Time Information (RTI) filing, to help businesses manage payroll information through a connected system.
Keep relevant payroll details organised, review salary calculations and access reports that help your team check and maintain payroll records.
- HMRC RTI filing: Support the submission of payroll information through the relevant RTI process.
- Payroll calculations: Calculate pay using your configured employee information and payroll rules.
- Gross and net pay visibility: Review salary figures and deductions before finalising payroll.
- Payroll reports: Access payroll information for review and record-keeping.
- Department salary breakdowns: Review relevant payroll costs across departments.
- Connected employee data: Use employee information from your HR system to help reduce repeated data entry.
ConnectSimpli can help organise the payroll process, but your business remains responsible for ensuring employee details, payroll settings and submissions are correct for its circumstances.
Review payroll before completing each run.
Payroll accuracy matters to both your business and your employees. A clear review process helps authorised users check the figures, identify missing information and resolve issues before a payroll run is finalised.
ConnectSimpli provides payroll review and approval tools to help your team maintain better control over the process.
- Payroll review: Check employee pay details and payroll totals before approval.
- Approval workflows: Allow authorised users to review and approve payroll according to the configured process.
- Missing information checks: Review payroll data and address incomplete details.
- Change history: Keep a record of relevant changes for review.
- Controlled access: Manage payroll permissions so access matches assigned responsibilities.
These controls help create a more consistent payroll process and reduce the chance of avoidable mistakes going unnoticed.
Keep payroll manageable as your business grows.
For a small business, payroll may start with just a few employees. As the team expands, you may need to manage more salaries, working hours, allowances, deductions and payroll records.
ConnectSimpli gives growing businesses a connected payroll system that helps organise these tasks without adding unnecessary complexity. You can manage relevant employee information and payroll details from one platform rather than switching between separate spreadsheets and records.
- Keep employee salary information organised.
- Manage allowances and deductions in the payroll process.
- Review payroll information before approval.
- Support different pay cycles as required.
- Add other HR modules as your business needs change.
If you are looking for HR software for small businesses, ConnectSimpli also offers free Core HR for up to five employees. Payroll and payslips are available through the relevant paid plan.
Keep payroll connected with employee information.
Payroll works best when it uses accurate employee data. When salary details, working hours, leave and employee information are managed separately, the same information may need to be entered more than once.
ConnectSimpli connects payroll with Core HR and relevant workforce modules, helping your business keep information organised and reduce repeated manual work.
- Core HR: Maintain employee records, roles and departments.
- Time and Attendance: Keep working-hour and attendance information organised.
- Leave Management: Maintain employee leave records.
- Work Schedules: Organise employee working patterns.
- Allowances: Manage applicable additional payments.
- Deductions: Organise configured payroll deductions.
- Employee Loans: Keep loan repayments connected with payroll.
- Payroll and Payslips: Process pay and provide digital payslips.
With connected HR and payroll tools, your team can manage more of the employee pay process from one place.
