Unveiling Independent Payroll Health Checks Across the UK
pHRism has conducted payroll compliance audits and health checks for UK businesses for over 10 years, from our headquarters in London and our office in Camberley.
A Formal Compliance Audit, Not A Quick Look
This is a formal, systematic review, not a strategy conversation. pHRism checks your payroll processes and calculations against current statutory requirements, including PAYE, National Insurance, pension auto-enrolment and National Minimum Wage compliance, and delivers a clear, evidenced report.
Use Cases
- Payroll processes and calculations checked against current statutory requirements
- PAYE, NI, pension auto-enrolment and National Minimum Wage compliance reviewed
- A clear, evidenced report, not just a conversation
30-minute call | No obligation | Clear next steps
Reviewing Controls, Not Just Calculations
Correct calculations do not mean much if the process around them is exposed to error or fraud. pHRism reviews approval workflows and segregation of duties alongside the numbers, checking whether documented process and actual practice actually match.
Use Cases
- Payroll process controls and approval workflows reviewed
- Segregation of duties assessed for fraud and error risk
- Gaps identified between documented process and actual practice

Finding The Errors Your Current Reporting Would Miss
Automated variance reporting catches unusual changes going forward. A health check looks backward and forensically, reviewing pay runs that have already happened to find errors that may still be affecting current pay, independently of what your own system reports about itself.
Use Cases
- Historical pay runs reviewed for miscalculations and process gaps
- Errors identified independently, not self-reported by your existing system
- Findings quantified, so you know the actual scale of any issue
30-minute call | No obligation | Clear next steps
A Clear Report And Roadmap, Not Just A Pass Or Fail
A health check is only useful if you know what to do with the findings. pHRism delivers a clear report with each issue prioritised by severity, backed by a practical remediation roadmap, not a document that just tells you something is wrong.
Use Cases
- Findings presented clearly, with severity and priority against each issue
- A practical remediation roadmap, not just a list of problems
- Follow-up health checks available to confirm issues are resolved

- Access and data requirements agreed up front

- Process controls and segregation of duties assessed
- Gaps and errors documented with evidence
Structured delivery | Dedicated project lead

- Report presented directly to relevant stakeholders
30-minute call | Clear next steps
