Useful answers
A closer look.
Does StaffSail calculate tax and submit payroll to HMRC?
The current route is accountant-led. Your accountant or chosen payroll software calculates statutory payroll and handles HMRC filings, pensions and payments outside StaffSail.
Does marking evidence as recorded send a payment?
No. Recording payment or filing evidence documents an external action. It does not move money or submit a statutory return.
Can every manager open payslips?
No. Payroll and document access have separate controls. Published payslips are private and a person's staff-management permissions do not automatically grant payroll access.
