Over 84% of UK businesses admit to monthly payroll mistakes, learn how to avoid them in our upcoming webinar.

With around one third of businesses managing payroll in-house, getting it right is essential. But many UK SMEs aren’t confident running their payroll and with good reason, navigating all the complexities can feel like a minefield. 31% are still managing payroll manually, with this rising to 44% in very small businesses according to recent data that I have seen. 

When deadlines are tight and legislation keeps changing, it’s easy to miss a tax code or misclassify a new hire. These mistakes come with consequences and can lead to fines, a decline in employee trust and wasting valuable time on untangling problems. 

In this session, Liam Sant, Partner Account Executive, and Danilo Alencar, Account Executives at 91±¬ÁÏ will show you how to avoid the most common pitfalls so you can run payroll with confidence. 91±¬ÁÏ’s payroll expert Suzanne Gallagher will answer individual questions live throughout the session.

In this practical webinar, we’ll cover:

  • The 5 most expensive payroll mistakes SMEs are still making — including:
    • PAYE and National Insurance miscalculations
    • RTI submission slip-ups
    • Worker misclassification (IR35, freelancers, casuals)
    • Auto-enrolment errors
    • Starters and leavers handled incorrectly
  • Why these issues are so common (yes, even with spreadsheets)
  • What they’re really costing your business
  • How to fix them fast — and prevent them for good
  • How payroll automation can take these risks off your plate

Whether you’re a business owner, leader or HR professional running payroll for the first time, or a seasoned pro, this session will help to demystify the intricacies.
