Essex based eSlip Payroll Services Nominated for Payslip of The Year
eSlip Payroll Services are a finalist for “Payslip of the Year” in the Payroll World Awards 2011.
But surely a payslip is just a payslip – we hear that a lot!!. Firstly lets explain why we have spent time making our payslips so different. It’s about saving our clients time, in particular the time taken in handling employee queries. Our research has shown that the more accurate information we include on the payslip, the less employee queries our Essex clients receive, because the employee can see the answer for themselves on the payslip. So we are delighted that the Payroll Services Industry have recognised eSlip by short-listing us for this award.
Over the years our payslip design has evolved so that today the payslips are personalised for each of our different Essex companies, showing information that is important to their different ways of working. Below are some examples:-
- The most common issue our clients both in Essex and throughout the UK raised is employees querying their tax code [change]. However the HMRC will not discuss this with eSlip or indeed the clients company. So we print the correct telephone for the employees registered tax office below the tax office reference on each and every payslip. So that it is as easy as possible for the employee to resolve this themselves.
- On the bottom of the payslip eSlip include all Statutory information, together with a tax year running total. This also helps give the employee visibility of the monetary value of the non-cash benefits that the client is funding on their behalf e.g. employers contribution to employees pensions.
- On the front of the payslips (they are produced already pressure sealed) we include information to make it easy to distribute the payslips correctly, with ’000′s of payslips being despatched, a tight procedure is required to avoid mistakes. The company and employees names are there together with a department, on which the payslips can be sorted, according to client requirements.
- A sequence number is included making it easy to reprint any spoilt payslips without risking duplicates or omissions.
- A delivery code is included so that the despatch department know whether to send the payslip to Head Office, a Satellite Office or a Home address, and which method will be used for the delivery.
- Small chevrons mark the edge of the address panel, so that the operators can easily confirm that the payslip is correctly aligned (the stationery varies slightly by batches). This is particularly important where clients has requested us to fill the payslip with extra information about how the employees pay has been made up. And the payslip print routine has been designed to make it easy to adjust the position of the print on the stationery.
