  • Deductions Explained (PAYE Employment)

    As a PAYE employer, we keep all deductions transparent and limited strictly to what is required by law. We do not charge for uniforms, admin fees, or umbrella-style margins.

    The deductions we make from your pay include:

    Statutory Deductions

    These are required by HMRC and include:

    • Income Tax (PAYE): Calculated based on your earnings and personal tax code.

    • Employee National Insurance Contributions (NICs): Payable once your earnings pass the weekly or monthly threshold.

    • Student Loan Repayments: If applicable, these are automatically deducted based on your earnings and loan plan.

    • Pension Contributions: If you are enrolled in a workplace pension scheme, your contributions will be deducted unless you opt out.

    Court-Ordered Deductions (if applicable)

    If we receive an official order (e.g. an Attachment of Earnings Order), deductions will be made from your pay in accordance with the legal instruction.


    💡 Note: All deductions are variable and depend on your earnings and personal tax circumstances. You will always be able to see a full breakdown of any deductions on your payslip.

    If you have any questions about your deductions or payslip, just let us know—we’re happy to help.
