Speed up your weekly payroll with Faster Payments

To get people paid on Friday your payroll needs to be ready by Wednesday. Bacs payments won't be sufficient to deal with tight payroll deadlines. Faster Payments are the way to handle late timesheet submissions. You can even submit payments on Friday and it would still go out in time.

Evolving payroll needs

The rise of temporary staff in the UK over the past few years has been the primary reason for more frequent payment schedules. More and more business are opting for weekly or even daily pay runs. The UK already has close to 1 million short term workers and this number is expected to go up even more over the coming years. This will accelerate changes to the payroll industry, increasing the need for new models and suppliers.

“Accountants are on especially tight deadlines when hourly paid employees submit timesheets late, which unfortunately happens quite often. Telleroo buys us extra time and provides more flexibility and breathing room!”
- Chris Conway, Managing Director of
Multiply Accountancy
