Great service

Our experience with Painless Payroll has been positive throughout. It was a simple process to set up our payroll with them, and Lorraine has been really helpful through this process and since. The payroll is always run efficiently and accurately, and Lorraine is always on hand to help when needed.

I see why they named it painless payrole!

I see why they have named it painless payroll. The companies knowledge and proffesinalism really does make matters painless! I have always relyed on their support to the point of being annoying.
They have always been able to support me in my managing role and solve any problems I may have ussually in one phone call. from working out messy maternaty sick and dependency pay to filling out gov employer forms for apprentaships. Particular thanks to Lorraine who I trust and rely on to make sure I am doing things correctly - not an easy task! 🙂

Good initial contact.

Initial contact made to move our payroll from another provider. Very quick response, meeting set up and completed very quickly and Lorraine seems very professional and knowledgeable.
We are very happy with the initial contact and are now beginning the steps of moving across to Painless Payroll.

Painless Payroll

Lorraine Hyde provides an outstanding payroll service at a very competitive price. She is highly knowledgable about all things to do with pay, HMRC and NI contributions and is very happy to discuss issues with you on the phone if required. On a couple of occasions she has also kindly offered to speak to HMRC on my behalf saving me hours of being bounced around various departments at HMRC trying to find an answer to my query. I cannot recommend her more highly, she provides an excellent service.
