What TeamPay is
TeamPay runs payroll for hospitality teams, with tronc and tips built into each workflow. It files Full Payment Submissions and Employer Payment Summaries to HMRC during pay runs. Tronc pooling and distribution can follow points, hours, role, or length of service, with an audit trail for every tip and service charge. Before approval, the platform checks tax codes, National Insurance categories, hours, and effective hourly rates against minimum wage. It handles pension auto-enrolment assessments, enrolment, opt-outs, and contributions, integrating with Nest, The People's Pension, and Smart Pension. Connections include Rotaready, Bizimply, and Xero, plus an open two-way REST API for payroll data, hours, employee changes, and webhooks; sandbox and production keys are available. Payslips, onboarding documents, and Nora answers support 15 languages, including right-to-left Arabic and Urdu. Nora answers everyday questions around the clock and escalates sensitive cases to a payroll specialist. TeamPay states it follows UK GDPR and is registered with the Information Commissioner's Office. Payroll software costs £2 per employee monthly; managed payroll is £6 on top, and multi-site groups receive custom quotes.
