2) So why use MPC Pay Solutions?

We believe that we offer an alternative for the following reasons:-

- Your work is undertaken by a qualified Chartered Accountant rather than someone who is yet to possess a qualification.

- We do not tie you into a minimum term contract.

- Our charges are levied to enable your business to pay for only services that you use.

- You are able to tailor your payroll to your business needs.

- Our charges are low - for our 'no frills' service, payroll starts from �1.25 per slip (for weekly payroll).

3) What is the 'no frills' service?

The no frills service is the calculation of your payroll and remittance of payslips and summary forms via e-mail. By not utilising the postal system and printed materials, we are able to cut the cost of our service - and pass on the savings to your business.

There is a minimal set-up charge (based on number of employees, capped at �100) and minimal costs for production of P45s, P46s and P60s/P14s.

We encourage correspondence via e-mail which enables faster processing of payroll.

3) What are your no frills rates then?

As at March 2009 our rates are:

Weekly payslip - �1.25 per slip

Fortnightly - �1.65 per slip

4 weekly/monthly - �2.10 per slip

Payroll set up - �3 per employee (capped at �100)

Addition of new employees - �3

Production of P45 - �3

Year end P60s and P14 - �3 per employee

All prices are net of VAT. Rates are subject to change. A minimum of 2 months notice is given.

6) Are you BACS accredited and do you make payments?

No and no. In order to keep our costs down and pass these on to you we do not offer these services as part of our no frills package. We notify you of payments to be made in order to allow time for you to make your own payment arrangements.

7) So do we pay peanuts but get a service to match?

No! As mentioned above, we use only qualified Chartered Accountants to process your payroll. As a minimum our team will have five years accountancy experience. We charge low fees as we aim to simplify our service. We are still on hand to answer your questions and provide a high standard of customer service.

8) Do you use HMRC accredited payroll software?

Yes.

9) What type of businesses do you serve?

We make ourselves available to all types and sizes of business - no business is too large or small. 

10) I want more than e-mail based payslips and summaries. Can you help?

Yes. We also provide a service that allows you to tailor your payroll to your own requirements. So for example, if you want individual payslips printing and posting or ad hoc payments then please contact us on 0845 604 2028 or on info@mpcfinancialconsulting.co.uk for more information and a no obligation quote.
