In the thread finding staff
http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=Equipment;action=display;num=1086639816 you mentioned "plus admin costs of doing paye" Just being nosey, but how much does it cost you for doing wages? I've been using PAYE-Master for years and the current yearly support package is £105 +vat = £123.38 or £2.00 per week if you can get the vat back. It's so easy to use and takes minutes to do. End of Year stuff is literally done for you, you just print off the sheets you need - which come free from Inland Revenue anyway. Go to
http://www.iris.co.uk/ and click on business owners. I can recommend it highly and am NOT on commission!
They have an online help section and you can also phone at any time (Mon-Fri 9-5) for advice on wages but that's an 0870 line at the exhorbitant rate of 8p per minute.
IRIS PAYE-Master Single Company
Price (Inc. VAT): £152.75
Description: Special offer pack, including: Initial fee, annual fee and 250 payslips.(If anyone decides to use this software let me know, I'll pass on a very handy tip I got from someone else who uses it too.)
Sometimes it seems that running a small business takes up more time than the business, so this is one way to smooth out a few of the bumps. And once you get the hang of it, I dare say you could start doing wages for other small businesses close to you too! :
All the best from a SME proprietor, wages clerk, personnel officer, health and safety rep, wet nurse, social worker, marriage guidance counsellor, aquisition controller, life skills consultant, personal chauffeur drive contractor to the family . . . Oh, and I manage to throw water at windows every so often too - have fun
