JLP Payroll Services Ltd

JLP Payroll Services Ltd was launched in 2003 and is based in Quinton, Birmingham. Julie Lawler is the Managing Director; she began running payroll from her kitchen table in 1994. The company has over 25 years' experience in payroll outsourcing and has been providing outsourced payroll services for over 20 years.

The team consists of 7 people. It serves businesses nationwide and uses one of the latest software packages on the market. It provides support to local charities once a month. Services include outsourced payroll, Real Time Information, P11D, human resources, workplace pensions, and bookkeeping.

Charities, pharmacies and owner-managed companies appear among the clients of this Birmingham payroll provider, and a theme that comes up often is how straightforward the switch from an in-house arrangement or a previous provider proves to be. Migrations are described as simple and effective, with queries answered and explanations given so that the first run after the change passes without disruption. Reliability and speed stand out: when questions arise they are usually resolved without delay, and the pay cycle runs without problems because communication continues both before and after each pay date.

Julie is named frequently for her knowledge and helpfulness, while Maddie is singled out for the standard of service she delivers. The breadth of work covered includes weekly pay runs, monthly processing, pension administration and the guidance provided through the furlough scheme. Value for money recurs, with businesses reporting savings against what they previously paid for licensing, payslips or an accountant's payroll service. Even those without employees use the team for their own payroll, and the friendliness of staff is a common point in accounts of the service.
