How to reclaim your evenings by making contractor and staff payments easy

Vine Recruitment Solutions specialises in recruiting nurses, healthcare professionals, and support workers. Terence Kavuru, Director, used to battle against the clock to finalise and pay weekly staff, ensuring hours were logged accurately and payments sent on time. Now there's a much easier process with Telleroo.

"I can run payroll, send out the payslips, and set up the payments straight away, ready for Friday. I then add the funds, so it's good to go. It's a good system which has brought in a lot of payroll efficiency."

How Vine manages weekly contractor and staff payments:
step 1Terence creates payroll and posts it in Xero Payroll.
step 2In Telleroo, Terence clicks 'Sync Xero Payroll' to automatically create every staff payment.
step 3Terence approves the payments, and the pay run gets scheduled for payday.
step 4Staff are paid! Terence likes to look at the confirmation on the Telleroo mobile app.
Terence Kavuru, Director of Vine Recruitment Solutions

Every Friday morning, that's the first thing I check, that payroll is green and paid. I've done it the difficult way, which means I can appreciate Telleroo. It was 5 years of hard Thursday nights, and now I can sleep better.

Frequently Asked Questions.

FAQs

How does Telleroo help with payroll payments?

Telleroo makes processing payroll payments simple by allowing you to schedule and approve staff pay runs in bulk. Once approved and funded, payments are sent instantly via the Faster Payments network, no delays, no manually keying in payments and no need for file imports.

What's the difference between BACS and Faster Payments?

BACS payments usually take three to five working days to clear and don’t run on weekends or bank holidays. Faster Payments are sent almost instantly, 24/7, including evenings, weekends, and bank holidays.

How does Telleroo help prevent payment errors and fraud when paying employees?

Telleroo flags new and updated payee details and runs Confirmation of Payee checks on recipients. Distinct user roles and built-in multi-layer approval workflows provide robust payment security to ensure payroll payments are accurate and on time.

Plus, our expert team monitor all payments and will get in touch if we spot a suspicious transaction. Here’s how our transaction monitoring team recently saved APH Accountants from making a fraudulent payroll payment.

What payroll software does Telleroo integrate with?

Telleroo integrates directly with Xero Payroll, Employment Hero, Staffology, FreshPay, Buddy, Safe HR and Paiyroll.

You can also import a file from BrightPay, Sage Payroll and everywhere else!

How quickly are staff paid through Telleroo?

Payments are made using the Faster Payments network, so payments are sent instantly and funds should land in employee accounts within 2 hours (but most payments arrive in minutes). This means no more waiting for BACS cycles or fitting payments in around bank holidays.

What is the fastest way to pay employees in the UK?

The fastest way to pay employees in the UK is via Faster Payments. Unlike BACS, which takes three to five working days to clear and doesn't process on weekends or bank holidays, Faster Payments are sent almost instantly, 24/7, 365 days a year. Telleroo uses the Faster Payments network to process bulk payroll payments, meaning your entire workforce can be paid in minutes, including on bank holidays, weekends and outside standard banking hours. Simply sync or upload your pay run from your payroll software, approve it, fund your Telleroo account, and payments are on their way.

Can I bulk pay employees without a BACS SUN number?

Yes! You don't need a BACS Service User Number (SUN) to make bulk payroll payments. BACS requires businesses to either hold their own SUN or use a bureau that does, which can be a barrier for smaller businesses and accounting firms. An alternative is to use the Faster Payments network, which has no SUN requirement, processes payments almost instantly, and runs 24/7 including weekends and bank holidays. All Telleroo payments are sent via the Faster Payments Network, so there's no SUN needed, no lengthy setup with your bank, and no three-day clearing window.

Can accountants process payroll payments on behalf of clients?

Yes! Accountants, bookkeepers, and payroll bureaus can process payroll payments on behalf of clients without needing access to their bank accounts. The most common approaches are using a bureau BACS SUN, requesting third-party access to a client's online banking, or using a dedicated payment platform that keeps client funds separate and gives clients control over approvals. The latter is increasingly popular as it removes the risk and responsibility of having access to client bank accounts. Telleroo is built specifically for this model, your team creates and manages pay runs, while clients review, approve, and fund payments, keeping them in full control without you needing bank access.

Accountant case study.

£2.5K saved from fraudsters

Paul White, Director of APH Accountants received an email from an employee asking to update their bank details. This was only discovered to be fraudulent when the employee messaged saying she had not been paid.

Paul White, Director of APH Accountants

Telleroo emailed literally as I was looking into the payment. It was a great catch by the team. They detected that it was fraudulent, and they flagged it to me, and they stopped the payment from being sent. Telleroo gives us that extra layer of security that you don’t get with a bank.
