Questions
Can I import all my employees at once?
Yes. Download the Excel template, fill in one row per person and upload it. Employee numbers are given automatically.
Does payroll update my accounts?
Yes. Saving the payroll sheet posts salary expense and salaries payable, so the balance sheet and profit and loss reflect it.
Does it handle UK National Insurance?
There is a UK payroll template with National Insurance. Always check the figures against HMRC guidance before you pay staff.
