Running a business comes with a million moving parts and managing payroll is one of the most time-consuming and high-risk areas of them all.
It’s no surprise that many growing businesses consider hiring a Payroll Manager, Payroll Administrator, or Payroll Clerk to take over the responsibility.
But before you advertise that job and take on another salary, stop and ask:
Is it really the best move for your business?
💸 The True Cost of Employing a Payroll Specialist
Let’s say you hire a full-time Payroll Specialist:
£28,000+ salary per year
Employer National Insurance
Pension contributions
Software licenses
Training and CPD
Office space and equipment
Holiday and sick cover
Risk of errors, penalties, and compliance issues
Even part-time payroll staff come with overheads — and responsibility still rests on you if things go wrong.
✅ Outsourcing Payroll: Smarter, Cheaper, Safer
Now let’s compare that to outsourcing your payroll to a specialist provider like WorldWage.

Payroll run accurately and on time
HMRC submissions taken care of
Payslips issued to employees
RTI, pensions, and compliance handled
A dedicated expert team no sick days, no stress
