Payroll Service
Permalink  

Hi all

I work from home as a book-keeper, can anyone give me some advise if you need to have any payroll qualifications to offer a payroll service.  I have a practising certificate with the ICB.  I have done manual and computerised payroll in the past.  Also passed the practical book-keeping course with the ICB quite a few years ago.  Just basically wondered if you are allowed to offer a service or are there any rules I need to know about.

Thankyou

There are no required qualifications for payroll, much the same as bookkeeping - if you are comfortable and confident in providing a professional and accurate service then... go for it!

If you hold a practising certificate with the icb than you do need payroll qualifications, which is why after 20 years of acrrying out payroll, I have now signed up to do the icb diploma in payroll management in order to renew my practising certificate this year.

Thankyou for your advise, can I not do payroll now unless I have a qulification with ICB then?  Or is it just a case of not having the advise from ICB on payroll matters if I were to do payroll.  What about ICB Professional Indemnity Insurance, this obviously will only cover what I am qualified for?? 

Sorry if sounds confused.
