IRIS Payroll Services: additional services

IRIS Payroll Services uses software with an open Application Programming Interface (API), meaning it can integrate with a wide range of other software, both IRIS and third-party.

By connecting multiple systems together, you can streamline workflows and reduce manual admin, such as submitting the same employee data to multiple systems.

Payroll integration: connect
all your important systems

IRIS Payroll Services integrations include:

HR (including Staffology HR)
Recruitment
Pensions
Finance
Time and attendance

Fully integrated into IRIS Payroll Services, Faster Payments gets money into your employees' accounts in minutes rather than the usual three-day BACS cycle.

Use it as your everyday way to pay, or keep it in reserve for the moments that can't wait.

Faster Payments: pay in minutes, not days

Earned Wage Access (EWA): support your people's financial wellbeing

Give employees more control over their pay with built-in Earned Wage Access tools.

EWA allows employees to withdraw a portion of their already-earned wages, often up to 50% of their accumulated pay, before their scheduled payday.

If your business distributes tips or service charges, our specialist Troncmasters service manages your tronc scheme alongside your payroll, meaning:

Tips are allocated fairly and transparently in line with tipping legislation
The National Insurance treatment is handled correctly
Your funds never leave your own bank account

Tronc: compliant tips handling

With IRIS Payroll Services, if you employ people in both the UK and Ireland, you don't need a separate provider on each side of the border.

Additionally, if your teams extend beyond the UK and Ireland, talk to us about wider international payroll support.

UK and Ireland payroll: one provider across both markets

From April 2027, reporting benefits in kind through payroll
stops being optional.

HMRC is using a phased approach, with the first wave,
from April 2027, covering:

Company cars and car fuel
Vans and van fuel
Private medical benefits

Most remaining benefits will follow in April 2028.

Employment-related loans and living accommodation stay outside the mandatory regime for now.

With IRIS Payroll Services, all this is handled for you.

We'll keep managing your P11D and P11D(b) reporting for as long as it applies to you, and we can payroll your benefits ahead of mandation so your processes are settled and tested well before the deadline.
