PAYE registration: how to officially register a payroll system for your business

We help you get through the process quickly and without mistakes, even if you are just starting to hire staff.
Correct registration of employees: requirements for employers in the United Kingdom
The registration of employees in the United Kingdom is governed by a number of legal and tax regulations. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in fines, claims from employees or audits by HMRC.
What does employee registration consultation include:
- checking the status of the employee (employee, worker or contractor);
- preparing or reviewing contracts in accordance with UK Employment Law;
- determining the mandatory conditions for minimum wages, holidays, taxes and deductions;
- explanation of HR record keeping and registering employees for PAYE;
- support during the recruitment process (Right to Work check, benefits, PAYE start dates).

This helps employers avoid legal risks and ensure transparent employment relationships.
