Four stages of every pay run
Send the changes
Hours, overtime, starters, leavers and pay changes reach us by the cutoff for your cycle, through a shared sheet or a short email.
We calculate and check
Your specialist runs the payroll and a second person checks every line that changed since the last run.
You approve the run
A summary with totals, changes and the employer cost arrives two working days before pay day. Nothing is paid until you sign it off.
Pay, payslips and filings
We send the payment file to your finance lead, payslips go to employees on pay day and the filings are made on time.
Pay cycles and their cutoffs
Your cutoff is the last moment we can take a change and still pay it on the coming pay day.
| Pay cycle | Usually suits | Changes reach us |
|---|---|---|
| Weekly | Hourly staff, shift workers and casual teams | 2 working days before |
| Fortnightly | Teams on a two week rota | 3 working days before |
| Twice a month | Salaried teams paid mid month and month end | 3 working days before |
| Monthly | Salaried staff, managers and directors | 5 working days before |
Some countries fix how often employees must be paid. We check the rule that applies to your team before your first run.
Moving your payroll without missing a pay day
Most employers come to us between two pay runs, often part way through the tax year. We load your employee records and the year to date figures, then run a parallel payroll beside your last run with the old system or provider, so any difference is found and explained before it reaches a payslip.
- Employee records and year to date totals loaded
- Parallel run matched line by line
- First live run approved by you
- Old payroll reports kept on file
The people behind the pay runs
Every client has one specialist who runs the payroll and one colleague who checks it, so a holiday never delays a pay day.
From employers we pay (example reviews)
The café ran payroll from a spreadsheet on Sunday nights. Clockwise took it over in March, matched every year to date total and the Sunday job simply disappeared.
The summary arrives two days ahead with every change since last month marked. Approving it takes the operations team about ten minutes.
When a nurse queried her overtime, the specialist called back that afternoon and walked through the calculation in plain words.
Questions employers ask before switching
What do you need from us each run?
Hours or timesheets for hourly staff, details of starters and leavers, pay rises, bonuses and any unpaid leave. A short template keeps it to a few minutes each cycle.
Who actually pays the employees?
Wages leave your own business account. We prepare the payment file and the net pay list, and your finance lead releases the payment after approving the run.
Can you take over part way through the year?
Yes. We load the figures paid so far this year from your old payroll and run in parallel once, so the totals carry on without a break.
Do you run payroll in more than one country?
Tax, social contribution and employment rules differ between countries and sometimes between regions. We run payroll only where our specialists know those rules, and we say so plainly if your country is not one of them.
What happens if a payslip is wrong?
Tell your specialist and we correct it in the next run or with an off cycle payment the same week. If the mistake was ours, the correction costs you nothing.
How is our payroll data protected?
Only your specialist and the checker can open your records. Files are encrypted, every access is logged and the law where you employ people decides how long records must be kept.
How do you charge?
A monthly package fee, plus per payslip above the package. Year end and off cycle runs are priced separately and invoiced monthly, with payment arranged directly with us.
