Payroll & CIS-Style Contractor Management
Running payroll in the healthcare sector can be complex. From GP practices and dental surgeries to private clinics and pharmacies, many medical businesses employ a mix of salaried staff, locums, receptionists, therapists, and contractors — each with different payroll and compliance requirements. At Kumar Associates, our dedicated payroll team provides efficient, accurate, and compliant payroll services tailored to the needs of medical professionals.
Specialist Payroll for Healthcare
We manage payroll for over 500 clients, ensuring that staff are paid correctly and on time, with HMRC Real-Time Information requirements met on every run. Our online payroll portal makes payslips and reports easy to access, while larger practices can benefit from automated wage payments through secure third-party software.
For healthcare businesses, we understand the additional challenges:
High staff turnover and zero-hour contracts.
Part-time and sessional staff with varying pay structures.
Locums and CIS-style contractors requiring careful compliance.
NHS Pension Scheme contributions and auto-enrolment pensions for staff.
Auto-Enrolment & NHS Pension Administration
Our team handles all aspects of pension administration, from setting up and maintaining auto-enrolment schemes to liaising directly with pension providers. For NHS employers, we also manage NHS Pension contributions to ensure accuracy and compliance.
CIS-Style Contractor Management
Private clinics and medical businesses often engage contractors, such as therapists, assistants, and consultants. Misclassifying contractors can create HMRC risks. We provide guidance and management support to ensure compliance with employment status rules, avoiding costly errors while giving your contractors a smooth payment experience.
