How a report is purchased

  1. Discuss the real employer decision, deadline, existing workflow and budget owner.
  2. Check the arrangement fits the model and agree anonymous inputs, outputs and review responsibilities.
  3. Complete the required legal, privacy and policy review. Agree and sign a report order covering fees, payment dates, permitted use, cancellation and corrections.
  4. Confirm the agreed payment trigger and receive the approved input set before preparation starts.
  5. Review the draft, submit consolidated comments and approve the exact final version. Receive the final files and invoice under the agreed terms.

Current limits

Reports are planning estimates. Representative band averages cannot establish actual affected employee counts or individual payslips. Future rates, final 2029 payroll operation, directors' annual NI, Employment Allowance, Apprenticeship Levy and personal pension allowances are excluded. A planning report does not implement payroll or provide regulated advice.

Professional policy and contract reviews remain to be completed before a paid assignment is accepted. Files sent for a report are a separate data flow from calculations run privately in a website visitor's browser.

Optional employee campaign

The optional £2,500 employee campaign has a separate scope, implementation, payment schedule and release process. Review the campaign acceptance evidence and embed demonstration if that is the service you need.
