BACs We are a BACSTEL-IP approved bureau, providing the speed, security and ease of payment transactions provided by no other system. We will make: Net salary payments; PAYE and NIC payments to HMRC; and, other 3rd party payments. No more cheques having to be sent in the post With our BACs bureau service there s no need for the administration involved in writing and posting cheques. We will arrange for your employees to be paid. Take control of your cash flow Paying by BACs gives you control of the cash flow - you decide when the payment is taken, so you re not left wondering when a cheque might clear. As BACs payments are processed on the day they clear, there is a tangible interest benefit associated with using our BACs bureau service. Reduced risk of payments not being made When the payment process is managed in-house, it is far easier to miss a payment, possibly as a result of holiday or sickness. Our BACS bureau service alleviates this risk and provides invaluable peace of mind that your employees and third parties are paid on-time every time. Since using Bishop Fleming Payroll Services we have been delighted to convert to e-payslips and also to utilise the BACS Bureau facility. The payroll for approximately 240 staff is turned around quickly and efficiently and I know that I can pick up the phone at any time for assistance.
