How Our Payroll Service Works (Made Simple)

At Kevin Barry Accountants, our payroll service is designed to take the stress off your shoulders and make sure your staff are always paid correctly and on time.

We keep things simple: early confirmation = lower charges, late confirmation = higher fees.
We don’t chase, because it wastes everyone’s time. Instead, we’ve built a system that works smoothly — as long as you work with us by following the agreed procedures.

What’s Included?

In short: everything you need for payroll, done right.

• Payroll on time, every time — or your money back.

  • Your Investment is below & vat applies on top:
    • Weekly Payroll is €5 per payslip
    • Bi Weekly is €8 per payslip
    • Monthly is €15 per payslip

• Payroll sent to you 4 days before payday for approval.

• Approve within 48 hours = 10% discount on our fees.

• First change within that 48-hour window = free.

• Late confirmation or late changes = 50% levy (zero-tolerance rule, to cover disruption).

• All Revenue submissions handled through Revenue.ie.

• PDF payroll reports emailed every pay period.

• Staff enrolment taken care of.

• Payslips sent directly to employees by email (password-protected if needed) or to their private portal we set up for them.

• Starters added and leavers processed properly.

• You’ll be informed of all payments due to Revenue and guided on how to pay.

• Payroll accuracy checked against our internal checklist for peace of mind.

• We’ll communicate with Revenue on your behalf when needed.

• Full year-end duties completed, with reports sent directly to your accountant.

What You Need to Know

• Quick queries (5–10 minutes): free.

• More detailed queries (e.g. salary increases or “what if” scenarios): €30 + VAT per half hour.

• Late approval:

  • Wages may be delayed.

  • Revenue submissions may be late or missed.

  • Late charges will apply.

• Changes after first approval:

  • First change is free within 48 hours.

  • Additional changes = 50% rework levy.

• No changes after first approval: another 10% discount on fees.

• Missed scheduled timeframes: charged at €30 + VAT per half hour.

• Setup costs:

  • Irish-based employers = no setup cost.

  • Foreign-based employers = €150 (because it’s always more complicated – aaagh!).

The Bottom Line

Our payroll service is built to make your life easier — accurate, reliable, and stress-free. If you confirm payroll on time, you’ll enjoy lower fees and smooth processing. If you’re late, costs rise and delays happen.

We’re here to keep things running like clockwork. All we ask is that you work with us on time.
