What Is the Deadline to Send Payroll Input Data?
Ensure timely payroll processing by adhering to our data submission deadlines
Timely payroll data submission is crucial to ensure everything runs uninterrupted. Your specific deadline will be outlined in our Service Level Agreement (SLA) within your engagement letter. That said, here’s a general guide:
📅 Weekly/Bi‑Weekly/Four‑Weekly Payrolls
-
Payroll Deadline: By 11 am on Monday, if payday is the Friday
-
Helps ensure sufficient time for submissions to HMRC
⏳ Monthly Payrolls
-
Standard SLA Deadline: Seven working days before payday
-
Example: For Friday 31st payday, data is due Wednesday 22nd at 11 am
🔄 Flexibility & Consistency
-
We can accommodate occasional late submissions if you let us know in advance
-
Repeated late data submission may affect your pricing and SLA
-
We sometimes need to reallocate resources to meet tight deadlines
-
🔐 Our Guarantee
As long as we receive your data by the agreed SLA deadline, we guarantee payroll is filed on or before payday.
However, if data arrives late without prior notice, we cannot guarantee processing — although we will always strive to accommodate you.
📌 Reminder
Month‑end is our busiest time. Consistent and timely data submissions (by 11 am on the specified day) help us deliver seamless, accurate payroll every time.
