Features of payroll giving from PayCaptain
Works in partnership with GoodPAYE
This 100% charity-owned professional fundraising organisation brings charities, employers and employees closer together to maximise donations.
Streamlines administration
Payroll Giving eliminates the need for employees to set up individual donations or manage transactions.
Facilitated by PayCaptain
Our outsourced payroll solution allows employees to easily select a charity of their choice from within the PayCaptain mobile payroll app.
Speeds up payments
Payroll giving eliminates the need to claim Gift Aid and enables payments above the basic rate of Gift Aid, meaning more money goes to the charity to support their vital work.
Micro-donations
Employees have the option to round down their net salary and donate pennies from their pay to their workplace’s chosen charity.
How does payroll giving work?
Charitable donations are convenient, easy and automatic. Via PayCaptain’s mobile payroll app homepage, employees simply tap the “Charity Donations” tile, select their chosen cause and enter how much they wish to donate. Once set up, donations are deducted from payroll before tax is applied, reducing an employee’s taxable income and making charitable giving more cost-effective.
Payroll giving is processed by the payroll giving agency and distributed to the designated charity with the full value of donations forwarded pre-tax, so the charities receive the full amount regardless of the employees’ tax bracket. Tax relief is applied immediately, maximising the contributions and speeding up the delivery of the full payment to the designated charity.
