Listen Later

In this episode of The Pet Accountant Podcast, Vicky and Lee are joined by Jodie, Payroll Manager at The Pet Accountant, to dive into the often-overlooked world of payroll—and why getting it right is crucial for your business.

From choosing the right software (spoiler: Brightpay beats HMRC’s tools) to avoiding costly mistakes, they explain the importance of using a professional service to manage payroll. Whether it’s handling sick pay or maternity leave, Jodie breaks down how even small payroll errors can create big problems for both employers and employees.

If you're running a team in the pet industry, this is a must-listen to help protect your staff and stay compliant with payroll legislation.

Key Takeaways:

  • Hiring a professional accountant for payroll helps prevent costly errors that impact staff.
  • Brightpay is the recommended software—it's easy to use and offers secure document Storage.
  • Switching from HMRC to Brightpay? You'll need to provide accurate year-to-date figures.
  • Statutory sick pay and maternity leave rules can be complex—understanding them is vital.
  • Payroll mistakes can lead to legal issues and financial losses for business owners.
  • Always use the correct payment references when paying HMRC to avoid issues with credits.
