Clear scope
We document the payrolls, services, deadlines, contacts and responsibilities included in the engagement. Requests outside that scope are assessed before work begins.
About us
About Clipper Contractor Group Ltd
Clipper Contractor Group Ltd is a UK-registered business providing outsourced payroll administration to employers. We help clients operate a consistent payroll cycle with documented inputs, approval controls and clear outputs.
Our work is administrative and process-led. We act on information and instructions supplied or approved by the client. We do not obscure who employs the worker, who controls the payroll decisions or who is responsible for funding payroll liabilities.
What we do
What we do
Depending on the agreed scope, our services can cover:
- payroll setup and employee record maintenance;
- processing for weekly, fortnightly, four-weekly and monthly payrolls;
- gross-to-net calculations based on approved inputs;
- PAYE and National Insurance calculations;
- preparation and authorised submission of payroll information under RTI;
- payroll reports and employee payslips;
- statutory payment processing;
- pension deduction and contribution processing;
- starter, leaver and year-end administration; and
- payroll migration and opening-balance checks.
The precise service is set out in a written proposal or service agreement before work begins.
How we work
How we work
We base each engagement on five operating principles.
Client approval
The client remains in control of payroll decisions. Material inputs, changes, exceptions and final totals must be approved by an authorised client contact.
Documented processing
We maintain records of payroll inputs, queries, approvals and outputs so that changes can be followed and investigated.
Data minimisation
We request and use the personal data reasonably needed to provide the agreed service. Access is limited according to business need.
Honest service boundaries
We explain where payroll administration ends and where the client may need advice from an accountant, tax adviser, employment lawyer, HR adviser or pension specialist.

Working with us
Working with us
Before accepting a new payroll, we assess whether the proposed work fits our service model and whether the client can provide the records and authority required for processing. We may decline or pause work where instructions are incomplete, inconsistent with the agreed service, potentially unlawful or unsupported by adequate records.
