Jefferson Payroll

Irish employers who would rather not run payroll themselves can hand it to Jefferson Payroll, a payroll outsourcing business that says it serves everyone from start-ups to multinational companies. It describes its software as developed in house, and the whole service is built around that platform.

Payroll sized to the employer

The service is split into four levels: start-up payroll, small and medium sized business payroll, enterprise payroll and multinational payroll. Clients are given a dedicated payroll administrator, and the company says it works hard to keep its customer retention record high.

Input and output without re-keying

A central selling point is that data can be imported instead of keyed in, which the firm says improves accuracy and shortens turnaround. It offers input converters for time and attendance and other outside systems, and general ledger file interfaces for accounting software. On the output side it provides flexible reporting, a full set of statutory reports and file exports for ad hoc analysis, so that employers keep immediate access to their payroll data. Information is stored and processed using up to date security technology.

Payslips and employee access

Employees use an online portal where payslips can be viewed, saved or printed for up to twenty-four months, with an automatic mobile view for reading on the go. The company markets this under the name iPayslips and also provides support sites for staff.

Payments handled separately

A segregated payments section can submit bank files for the employer or generate a file for the employer to submit. It supports payments to employees, to outside payees like pension, union and savings schemes, and to digital accounts. The company can also help set up digital bank accounts for newcomers starting work in Ireland and for existing staff who want an alternative to high street banks.

Revenue compliance

The company says it complies with PAYE Modernisation and acts directly as its clients' agent with Revenue. It also tells clients about changes in legislation that affect payroll and updates its software to match. A start-up guide on its site helps new employers get started.
