Ten ways our new payroll portal better supports employers and their employees

Few things matter more to employees than getting paid on time, accurately and securely. Today, our managed payroll service is relied upon by hundreds of businesses and thousands of employees each month.

That service is now getting better following a significant investment in new technology and an even more secure cloud-based payroll portal. The Kreston Reeves payroll portal, powered by Paycircle, offers greater flexibility and information for employers and their employees.

Here are 10 ways our payroll portal better supports employers and their employees: 

1. Accessibility

Cloud applications are fast and easily accessible over any WiFi, 4G and 5G connections. It enables smart collaboration wherever our clients might be. 

2. Secure data

Security of client data is paramount, and our new cloud-based portal has the highest levels of security ‘baked in’. With everything online, employers no longer need to run paper reports, upload or download data, or risk confidential data being inadvertently shared. 

3. User-friendly interface

Our portal is intuitive to use and easy to navigate, integrating seamlessly with other apps and software platforms. It can be accessed via phone, tablet, laptop or desktop, anywhere and anytime. 

4. Messaging centre

The portal includes a secure messaging centre allowing employers to leave us messages and instructions. Files can be uploaded and stored securely, and automatically linked to the relevant pay period. 

5. Step-by-step payroll process

The portal includes a built-in payroll management guide that tracks and manages processing deadlines from the data gathering stage through to running a payroll and paying client teams.  

6. Instant online reports

A suite of payroll reports are instantly available to review on the portal, meaning they no longer need to be downloaded – unless, that is, clients want them, and then that is easy too. 

7. Email reminders

We all need a nudge from time to time, and the Kreston Reeves portal sends reminders by email for payroll processing deadlines, helping reduce errors and the last-minute rush.

8. Payroll data archive

The Kreston Reeves payroll portal includes a full audit trail of every action and activity related to payroll, providing an invaluable archive, instantly available as and when it is needed.

9. Employee portal

Every employee gets their own portal, unique to them and goes with them – even if they leave the organisation. They can access the portal at any time to access payslips, pension information and other payroll-related information.

10. Employee FAQ

Our portal includes a handy guide of frequently asked questions for employees, covering everything from tax codes to contacting HMRC.

How our payroll portal works

The portal is intuitive and simple to use, leaving all the hard work to us.

Clients simply use the portal to send us their payroll data by the usual deadline. Additional instructions can be added if needed. We process your payroll, with draft reports available in the portal for review. We notify you when they are ready. Changes can be made in the portal, or they can be cleared for processing. 

Once confirmed that everything is correct, we will finalise your payroll, performing all the usual tasks and notify you when all is complete.

Our new payroll portal offers ease of use, peace of mind and security, each and every time. For more information please contact a member of our payroll team here.
