Rainfame Payroll

UK payroll where a person approves every filing and payment

Rainfame Payroll works out pay, reports to HMRC and produces pension and bank files for small employers and payroll bureaux. Nothing is filed with HMRC or paid until a named approver, signed in with two-step sign-in, says so.

In development. Rainfame Payroll is being tested against HMRC's test service. It is not yet recognised by HMRC and is not open to customers.

What it does

  • Pay runs

    Tax, National Insurance, student and postgraduate loans, statutory pay, salary sacrifice and net pay, worked out to HMRC's published rules for each tax year.

  • HMRC reporting

    Full Payment Submissions and Employer Payment Summaries built to HMRC's RTI specifications, held until a named approver releases them.

  • Pensions

    Automatic enrolment assessment, letters and contribution files for NEST, The People's Pension, Smart Pension and any PAPDIS provider.

  • Payslips

    Clear payslips in English or Welsh, emailed with a password or downloaded from the employee's own account.

  • Employee self-service

    Employees see their own payslips, P60s and details, and nothing else.

  • Bureaux

    Run payroll for many employers from one dashboard, with each client's approver signing off their own filings.

  • Payments and accounts

    Bank payment files and payroll journals for Xero, QuickBooks, FreeAgent and Sage.

  • Checks before anything goes

    Every pay run is checked for missing details, unusual changes and deadlines before an approver sees it.

How a pay run works

  1. Enter or import the period's hours, pay and changes.
  2. Rainfame works out the pay and checks it.
  3. An approver reviews and approves.
  4. Payslips go out; the HMRC submission and payment files are released on approval.
