But with Zellis, this is just not the case: our modern, secure and technology-driven customer portal guarantees you total transparency, no matter where we are in the payroll cycle. Automated payroll processing and reconciliation eliminates a manual approach and delivers an exceptional customer experience.

How we drive cost efficiency
Economies of scale
The size and scale of our Managed Services division (serving over 600,000 employees) enables us to reduce costly management overheads and avoid the inefficient ‘downtime’ in cycles that an in-house team may experience.
Global teams
Since our Managed Services teams are located across multiple geographies, we not only have access to the best global talent, but we also gain a labour arbitrage benefit which we pass back to our customers.
Process automation
We harness the latest developments in automation to make your payroll and HR processes run with exceptional accuracy, efficiency and, of course, cost effectiveness.
Our managed payroll services
Fully managed payroll
Your payroll will be in safe hands as we provide accurate and timely payments to your employees. We’ll look after compliance, year-end, P11Ds, and employee and third-party payments, giving you back the time and resources you need to focus on your core business.
We also offer a partially managed payroll service, tailored to meet your organisation’s specific needs.
Partially managed payroll
Retain your in-house payroll team, but outsource any critical processing activities to us, such as gross-to-net calculations and production of critical outputs and payments.
We’re also here to provide emergency payroll services in the event that you face unforeseen challenges or lose capacity within your team.
HR administration services
We can provide extra support to your HR team using our HR administration services.
We can handle your time-consuming, yet mission-critical functions, including:
- Contract production
- Updating personnel information
- Managing HR documents, such as employment records and onboarding guides.
Payroll assistance service
Our payroll assistance service gives you access to our team of consultants for:
- Emergency payroll processing services
- End-to-end process reviews
- HMRC liaison and payroll reconciliations
- P11D processing
With our expert knowledge and insights, we’re on hand to support you – whenever you need us.
Partnership approach
Payroll outsourcing to a provider should be based on a trusted and close partnership – not just an out-of-the-box approach. We treat our customers’ success as our own success.
Every customer receives a dedicated Customer Success Manager who is focused on building and nurturing a strategic relationship. From the very start of your journey, we will ensure you receive the very highest standard of customer service, using a structured approach to governance, engagement and satisfaction.
Advanced reporting and analytics
We handle all of your reporting for audit and compliance purposes – but we don’t stop there.
Our leading edge business intelligence and analytics tools will also enable you to harness crucial insights from payroll data, so that you can make more informed business decisions.
As the payroll function evolves to become more strategic, it’s difficult to overstate the importance of using data. Let us help you unlock its full potential.
