NHS Pension & Payroll Setup Procedure
.
Setting up is easy. We key in the cumulative data reconciling this back to what you have paid HMRC and the NHS Pension Agency. Setup procedures includes correcting errors found and liaising with HMRC and the NHS Pension Agency.
The Government is paying small surgeries up to £175 to submit their P35 annual returns online for 2008-2010. This is an integral part of our service. We submit your NHS Pension and HM Revenue & Customs returns electronically.
New PAYE & EA Codes Registrations
We will register your surgery with the HM Revenue & Customs for PAYE and support in drafting your employment contracts. We will also register your surgery with the NHS Pension Agency obtaining a new GP Reference for NHS Pension purposes.
For a small surgery of 15 staff with 9 pension members, the price will be around £55.00+vat per month. Our customer services are available to discuss your requirements in more detail before preparing our quotation paying attention to your specific requirements. This is provided to surgeries only with no obligation. Please use our web form for a detailed quotation as the price depends on the nature of the work required for your practice.
ADP4 Data Scan
We will always ask for a data scan so perform
a health check on your NHS Pension records kept with the NHSPA.
As part of our service, we always liaise with the pension agency to
determine why a record was not updated.
In many cases, this is due to incorrect data such as date of
birth, NIC number, pension start date, name change, WT or PT status
or overlapping employments.
We have received many new clients requiring remedial work on their existing payrolls processed in some cases by other bureaus. Many SD55 annual updates have not been done for years with no monitoring process in place.
New Tiered NHS Pension Reports
Our pension management reports show a tiered
scheme allocating each member into the correct scheme with the
monthly total for each tier.
We will therefore require the Whole Time Equivalent hours and rate
for each of your staff being setup with our bureau.
Members pension contributions are closely monitored by us.
The tiered tables will always be printed on the pension
management reports together with the WTE for each scheme member.

The tier table used to allocate staff to bands will be updated by the Secretary of State from time to time which will be reflected on our pension management reports as soon as practical. The new legislation states that once the correct tier has been allocated, the pension contribution rate will not change for the rest of 2008/09 year.
HM Revenue & Customs remittance report and paying in slip are sent
with the payroll which is due on the 19th of the month following the
payroll run. Leavers and joiners administration are dealt with by
us. We will inform the HM Revenue & Customs and provide laser
printed P45s for leavers. We prepare your monthly remittances and
annual year end returns. You

Local Authority Returns
These are prepared quarterly in the same format as your Local Health Authority or PCT. We can prepare your quarterly local authority returns in any format as some of these have regional differences. We can even allocate part of your employers NHS pension costs to your chosen budgets.
We can also help with your budget planning by preparing reports with a given percentage wage increase. Samples of our reports are included in our Free Colour Brochure.
GP Registrars
We are familiar with preparing payroll for registrars as and when
required. We accommodate payments such as:-
a) Superannuation pay (up to the pensionable limit)
b) Non Pensionable pay
c) Car allowance (in some cases mileage allowance is paid instead)
d) Medical Defence Union reimbursements
GPs approved and paid by the FHSA are allowed to join the NHS
pension scheme.
Registered clients can view the pay scales in the support section of
this website. If you are a registered client, more information on
the breakdown on Registrars pay is available on our additional NHS
support pages.
Salaried GPs
Practices must NOT record contributions on form LP11/GP1 for any Salaried GPs or GP Retainers they employ. We STILL have to deduct pension based on these tiers from the salaried GPs salary so that they get the tax relief due to them.

also be made online. Our self validating form will automatically
