Payroll is our specialist focus
A payslip is the visible end of the process
Behind it sit Revenue Payroll Notifications, PAYE, USC, PRSI, employee changes, reporting deadlines, benefits, pension contributions and corrections when something changes after a payroll has already been prepared.
Revenue requires payroll information to be reported on or before the day an employee is paid. Before payroll is run, the latest Revenue Payroll Notification should be used for each employee. Separate reporting can also apply to certain non-taxable benefits and expenses under Enhanced Reporting Requirements.
That is why we treat payroll as a recurring operational discipline — not a task to run and forget. The important part is having a repeatable process: receiving inputs, checking changes, applying the right information, submitting what is required and keeping the employer informed when a situation needs clarification.
Why specialist matters
Payroll is not an add-on to our service. It is the service.
- Your payroll is processed by the same team every run — not handed off to an overflow pool
- PAYE Modernisation means every submission is real-time — we are set up for that, not retrofitted
- We flag issues before the pay date, not after the submission is already filed
- Clear pricing, published on the website — no surprise invoices at the end of the month
- One point of contact who already knows your pay frequency, approval process and workforce
Why businesses choose us
What a specialist payroll service actually gives you
The practical differences that matter when payroll has to be right, every time.
A dedicated point of contact
Payroll questions are easier to resolve when the person handling them already understands your pay frequency, approval process and workforce. The service is built around a dedicated relationship rather than asking you to start from the beginning each time something changes.
A process built around the pay date
Payroll works to real deadlines. We agree what information is needed, when it needs to arrive, who approves the payroll and what happens when there is a late change or correction — whether you run payroll weekly, fortnightly or monthly.
Clear, published pricing
You should be able to understand how the service is priced before you make a decision. We publish our standard payroll pricing and explain when a larger or more complex payroll needs a tailored quote. Most competitors don’t. See current payroll pricing.
Room to grow with you
A first employee can become a team. Pay frequency can change, directors can join payroll and new reporting requirements can appear. We structure the service so the payroll process develops with the business rather than forcing you to rebuild it every time circumstances change.
What we handle
The payroll work we cover
The exact scope is agreed for each client. Here is what our payroll service can include.
PAYE, USC and PRSI
Revenue Payroll Notifications
Retrieval and use of the latest available RPN before payroll is run. Read our RPN guide.
Payroll submissions
Preparation and submission of payroll information in line with Revenue’s reporting timetable and agreed authorisation.
Starters and leavers
Processing employee commencements, cessations and related payroll changes, including P45 administration.
Weekly, fortnightly and monthly payroll
Processing built around the pay cycle your business actually uses — with agreed cut-offs and authorisation steps.
Enhanced Reporting Requirements
Support with reporting payments and benefits within the current ERR rules. See our ERR guide.
My Future Fund / auto-enrolment
Payroll contribution processing using enrolment information provided through Ireland’s auto-enrolment system. NAERSA identifies and enrols eligible employees. Read our guide.
Director payroll
PAYE payroll processing for directors, with PRSI, tax and cross-border points treated carefully where the answer depends on the facts. Read our director payroll guide.
Benefits in kind
Payroll processing for taxable benefits such as company cars and other benefits where payroll treatment applies under Revenue rules.
⚠️
Important: outsourcing payroll does not transfer the employer’s statutory responsibility. Revenue makes clear that the employer remains responsible for ensuring payroll compliance whether payroll is processed through software, a payroll company, another agency or ROS. Our role is to process and administer the agreed payroll work, apply relevant payroll rules and flag issues that need clarification.
Payroll by sector
Payroll that reflects how your business operates
The core PAYE process is consistent, but the payroll challenges around it vary considerably by sector. We tailor our support to the situations employers actually deal with.
Construction
PAYE payroll often sits alongside RCT processes, sector-specific pay rules and pension arrangements.
Construction payroll →
Retail and hospitality
Variable hours, tips, seasonal staffing, Sunday work and public holiday treatment can make inputs and approvals more demanding.
Retail and hospitality payroll →
Motor trade
Company cars, demonstrator vehicles, commission and other variable pay can create payroll and benefit-in-kind questions.
Motor trade payroll →
Tech & startups
Rapid hiring, director payroll, international employees and equity-related events can add complexity as a team grows.
Tech and startup payroll →
Schools and education
Payroll arrangements can differ according to staff category, funding and who acts as paymaster — the setup needs to reflect the actual structure.
Education payroll →
Multi-site businesses
Several locations create a bigger need for consistent cut-offs, approvals, employee records and reporting across the group.
Multi-site payroll →
For accountancy practices
Payroll capacity for practices that want to keep clients in-house
Some accountancy practices want to keep payroll within their client offering without building or expanding an internal payroll team. Where a white-label arrangement is agreed, we can provide payroll processing behind the scenes while the practice retains the client relationship.
The Revenue agent and communication structure is agreed for each practice individually — the workflow operates under the practice’s existing Revenue agent relationship, not a separate Payrollcompany.ie TAIN.
Regular payroll processing
Payroll prepared and submitted on the agreed schedule, using your practice’s established Revenue agent relationship.
Revenue submissions and ERR support
Payroll submissions, RPN retrieval and Enhanced Reporting Requirements handled within the agreed service scope.
My Future Fund administration
Contribution processing and payroll administration using enrolment information provided through Ireland’s auto-enrolment system.
Digital payslips and reports
Clear payroll outputs for employees and the business, issued as agreed with the practice.
Dedicated practice liaison
A single point of contact for the practice — not a different person every time a query comes in.
How we work with you
From onboarding to ongoing support
1
Understand the payroll
We start with employee numbers, pay frequency, payroll history, current Revenue setup and anything unusual about the workforce or existing process.
2
Agree the workflow
We set out what information is needed for each pay run, who provides it, when it is due and who approves the payroll before it is processed.
3
Prepare and review
4
Process and report
Payroll is processed on the agreed timetable and Revenue reporting is handled within the authorised service scope on or before pay day.
5
Issue payroll outputs
Employees receive digital payslips and the business receives the payroll reports agreed for its process.
6
Stay involved
People join and leave, pay changes, benefits change and new rules take effect. Ongoing support is part of the relationship, not something that ends after setup.
Based in Dublin, working nationwide
We support employers across Ireland — and cross-border situations too
Payrollcompany.ie is based in Sandyford, Dublin 18, but the service is not limited to Dublin. We work with Irish employers and accountancy practices across the country, including businesses with staff spread across several locations.
Nationwide payroll service
Employers across all 32 counties — all payroll is processed and submitted remotely with the same standard of service.
Cross-border and non-resident situations
We can support the Irish payroll side of cross-border arrangements where Irish PAYE is relevant, including certain non-resident director and internationally assigned employee situations. These cases are fact-dependent and handled carefully.
Director payroll across borders
Revenue's guidance is that directors of Irish companies are generally chargeable to Irish Income Tax and USC regardless of residence or where duties are exercised, subject to a possible double taxation agreement. We handle the Irish payroll element within the agreed scope.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about Payrollcompany.ie
Who is Payrollcompany.ie for?
Irish employers from first-hire businesses through to larger organisations, as well as accountancy practices that need additional payroll capacity without expanding their own team.
Do you process weekly payroll?
Yes. Weekly, fortnightly and monthly payroll processing are all part of the service. Pricing depends on pay frequency and the payroll setup. See current pricing.
Do you deal with Revenue directly?
RPN retrieval and payroll submissions can form part of the service where the appropriate Revenue authorisation and agent setup are in place. The exact arrangement is agreed during onboarding.
Do you handle My Future Fund / auto-enrolment?
Yes. We can administer the payroll contribution process and apply enrolment information provided through My Future Fund. NAERSA, not Payrollcompany.ie, identifies and enrols eligible employees. Read our guide.
Do you handle Enhanced Reporting Requirements?
Yes. We support ERR reporting for payments and benefits within the current reportable categories, subject to the information being supplied in time for reporting. Read our ERR guide.
Can you process director payroll?
Yes. Director payroll is supported. Where PRSI classification, residence, treaty treatment or another point depends on individual facts, we use appropriately qualified wording and flag where specialist confirmation is needed. Read our director payroll guide.
Can you take over payroll from another provider?
Yes. We review the existing setup, employee records, pay frequency, Revenue arrangements and outstanding payroll issues, then agree a transition process before the first payroll run with us. Most switches complete within two pay cycles.
Can you work alongside our existing accountant?
Yes. Payrollcompany.ie can work alongside an existing accountant or bookkeeper. We also provide a separate white-label payroll service for accountancy practices where that model is agreed. See our accountant service.
Is Payrollcompany.ie an accountancy practice?
No. Payrollcompany.ie is a specialist payroll service run by an ACCA-qualified team with bookkeeping experience. Payroll is the focus of the service — it is not an add-on to a wider accountancy practice.
Do you only work with businesses in Dublin?
No. We are based in Sandyford, Dublin 18, and support employers and accountancy practices across Ireland. All payroll is processed and submitted remotely.
Do you handle cross-border payroll?
We support the Irish payroll element where a cross-border arrangement creates Irish payroll obligations — including certain non-resident directors and internationally assigned employees. We handle the Irish payroll element within the agreed scope; tax or treaty outcomes are fact-dependent.
Does outsourcing payroll remove our compliance responsibility?
No. Outsourcing payroll does not transfer statutory responsibility. Revenue is clear that the employer remains responsible for payroll compliance regardless of who processes it. Our role is to process the agreed work, flag issues and keep the employer informed.
