Gross to net
Basic pay, overtime, holiday pay and premiums through to net, with every line itemised on the payslip.
✦ Payroll & payslips
Pay built from the hours you already approved.
Weekly, bi-weekly or monthly pay runs straight from locked timesheets, with gross-to-net calculated and a payslip PDF waiting in each employee’s own app.
The pay run
No export. No re-keying. No third version of the truth.
A pay run reads locked timesheet periods and nothing else. Hourly and salaried staff run together, holiday pay and premiums apply by rule, and each payslip shows exactly which hours produced it.
- Weekly, bi-weekly and monthly cycles
- PAYE using cumulative year-to-date figures
- Employee National Insurance by category letter
- Student loan plans 1, 2, 4, 5 and postgraduate
- Auto-enrolment style pension deductions, employee and employer
- Payslip PDFs, archived per employee

Capabilities
What the engine calculates.
Cumulative PAYE
Tax calculated across the year using prior locked payslips, not period by period in isolation.
Payslip PDFs
Generated per employee and available in their own app — no more emailing payslips around.
Bank details
Held encrypted, and changed through a verified two-step request rather than an email to finance.
Locked pay runs
A finalised run is immutable. Corrections are new, visible adjustments.
Bureau export
Clean, approved figures out to your existing payroll provider or accountant.
For employees
Payslips without asking head office.
Every employee sees their own pay history and downloads their payslip PDFs from the app they already use for shifts. The single biggest source of "quick question" emails to finance, gone.
- Full payslip history in the staff app
- PDF download on the phone
- Gross, deductions and net broken down per period
- Protected behind Face ID, Touch ID or a PIN

Being straight with you about HMRC filing
TaskBit calculates payroll and produces payslips. It is not an HMRC-recognised filer: it does not submit RTI (FPS/EPS), and it does not produce P45s or P60s or run pension auto-enrolment assessment and provider filing. That is a deliberate decision — those obligations stay with your payroll bureau, accountant or provider, and TaskBit hands them clean, approved figures instead of a spreadsheet. If you need a single system that files with HMRC itself, TaskBit is not that system today, and we would rather you knew now than in April.
Questions
What people ask about this.
Is TaskBit HMRC-recognised payroll software?
No. It calculates gross-to-net — PAYE, National Insurance, student loans, pension deductions and holiday pay — and produces payslips, but it does not make RTI submissions to HMRC and does not produce P45s or P60s. Those remain with your bureau or payroll provider, who receive approved figures from TaskBit.
So how do most customers use it?
Two ways. Either TaskBit is the pay-prep and payslip system and a bureau files, or TaskBit exports approved hours and the provider does the calculation as well. Both remove the re-keying step, which is where the errors come from.
Which tax year is the engine built for?
The engine implements 2025/26 PAYE and NI structures, including category letters and student loan plans, with cumulative year-to-date calculation.
Can we run hourly and salaried people together?
Yes — a single run covers both, taking hourly staff from locked timesheets and salaried staff from contracted pay.
Who can see pay data?
Payroll is a manager and finance function server-side: staff can only reach their own payslips, and any attempt at someone else’s is refused by the API, not just hidden in the menu.
