What is a payroll report?
Payroll reports are created every pay period and display specific financial information at employee and company level including employee data, pay rates, hours worked, deductions and net pay. Specific payroll reports must be submitted under Real Time Information (‘RTI’) reporting to HMRC monthly. Other reports are required to be submitted annually.
Quick and easy, detailed payroll reports are available with PayCaptain’s HMRC-recognised payroll software. PayCaptain’s comprehensive suite of payroll reports allow employers to manage and approve payroll, ensuring employees are paid correctly, on time. Generated by employers or payroll software providers, payroll reports ensure accurate record-keeping and compliance with HMRC regulations.
With business-critical information available at the click of a button, PayCaptain’s payroll reporting software delivers invaluable insights for more informed decision-making. Our payroll dashboard provides detailed reports on pay and rewards, resources and employee use of financial wellbeing tools including payroll savings and salary advances,
giving employers more insight into how they can support their people. PayCaptain’s report-builder software allows for new custom reports and dashboards to be created quickly and easily, without the need for external specialists.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I outsource payroll reporting to a third party?
When employers outsource payroll to a third party, both the payroll software provider and the employer run payroll reports. The payroll service provider is responsible for calculating and processing payroll and submitting reports on the employer’s behalf. The employer should always run their own reports, analysing payroll data before approving payroll. Once approved, the outsourced payroll service provider submits FPS and EPS payroll reports to HMRC, generates online payslips and makes payments to employees.
What are the penalties for late submission of payroll reports in the UK?
Penalties for late submission of payroll reports to HMRC depend on the number of employees a company has. The penalties are monthly and if a company runs more than one Pay As You Earn scheme (‘PAYE’) they will be charged penalties for each scheme that’s late. The penalties range from £100 to £400 per scheme per month. Eliminating the risk of penalties, PayCaptain submits all mandatory reports to HMRC on behalf of the employer as part of the standard offering.
What monthly payroll reports should be submitted to HMRC?
Mandatory payroll reporting requirements for HMRC are monthly Full Payment Submission report (‘FPS’), on or before the day that employees are paid and Employment Payment Summary (‘EPS’), which should be submitted on or before the 19th of the month following the date of payroll.
What is gender pay gap reporting?
Gender pay gap reporting applies to private, public authority and voluntary employers with a headcount of more than 250 employees. It’s a legal requirement set out by the Government Equalities Office for annual payroll reports that show the average earnings of men and women in their workforce between certain dates. Employers must submit this information by a specific deadline and publish this information in a prominent position on their website. The purpose of gender pay gap reporting is to identify and address any inequalities in pay between men and women for equal or similar work.
