Who we work with

We support UK businesses that want a defined, repeatable payroll process. This may include:

  • small and medium-sized employers;
  • businesses with weekly, fortnightly, four-weekly or monthly payrolls;
  • organisations with variable hours, overtime, expenses or deductions;
  • businesses managing a temporary or contractor workforce on their own PAYE scheme; and
  • employers changing payroll provider or bringing an inconsistent process under control.

Scope confirmed first

We confirm whether a payroll is within scope before accepting an engagement. We do not present outsourced administration as a substitute for legal, tax, accounting, immigration or employment-status advice.

How it works

A straightforward payroll cycle

Six controlled stages, from agreeing the scope to keeping the record of what was processed, approved and changed.

  1. Scope and setup

    We agree the payrolls, pay frequencies, responsibilities, deadlines, approval contacts and required outputs.

  2. Secure data collection

    The client provides authorised payroll inputs through the agreed channel by the processing deadline.

  3. Processing and checks

    We validate the information for completeness and process the payroll under the agreed rules.

  4. Client approval

    The client reviews and approves payroll totals and exceptions before finalisation.

  5. Outputs and submissions

    We issue the agreed reports and payslips and make authorised submissions where included in scope.

  6. Record keeping

    We retain agreed processing records and maintain a clear audit trail of inputs, approvals and changes.

Important service boundaries

Clipper Contractor Group Ltd is a payroll administration provider. Unless a separate written agreement expressly states otherwise:

we do not recruit or supply workers;

we do not become the employer of a client's workers;

we do not operate as an umbrella company or employer of record;

we do not decide employment status, tax status or entitlement to pay;

we do not provide legal, tax, accounting or regulated financial advice; and

we do not receive or hold client payroll funds.

These boundaries help ensure that the service is transparent and that each party understands its role.
