Payroll, Fully Managed.
One service. One payroll cycle. Nothing left for you to chase.
Cornerstone Payroll calculates, pays and reports on your entire payroll — wages, PAYE, National Insurance and pensions — as a single outsourced service, whether weekly, bi-weekly or monthly, using your own PAYE reference, no matter what your sector. You stay the employer. We handle everything else.
Security firms are our core market — manned guarding, event security and mobile patrol. The same fully managed service also covers industrial, logistics, recruitment and other high-volume, shift-based workforces.
What "Fully Managed" Actually Means
Most payroll providers stop at the calculation and leave you to make the payments. We don't.
We calculate
Gross-to-net pay for every worker, every cycle — whether that is weekly, bi-weekly or monthly.
We file
Your RTI submissions with HMRC, under your own PAYE reference.
We pay
HMRC, your pension provider, and your workforce — on your payroll cycle, as your agent, using funds you provide.
We report
Back with a full Payroll Statement so you can see exactly what went where.
One transfer per cycle covers the lot, however often you run payroll.
How It Works
Four steps. You stay in control. We execute.
Send us your payroll data
Hours, rates, new starters and leavers, ahead of each payroll cycle.
Review and approve
We send the numbers back for your sign-off before anything is paid.
We execute the payroll
Wages, PAYE, NI and pension contributions, paid from funds you have provided by the agreed deadline.
You get the statement
A clear Payroll Statement confirming exactly what was paid, to whom, and when.

Built For High-Volume, Shift-Based Workforces
Security is where we specialise. The same fully managed payroll also runs for other sectors with complex rotas, high turnover and frequent pay cycles.
Security
Manned guarding, event security and mobile patrol teams run on rotating shifts, unsociable hours and frequent starters and leavers. We handle SIA-licensed workforces on whatever cycle you pay, so a busy roster never turns into a payroll backlog.
Industrial
Multi-site operations, shift patterns, and fluctuating headcount do not have to mean fluctuating payroll pain. Whether you run weekly, bi-weekly or monthly payroll, we handle variable hours and high staff turnover as standard.
Driver & Logistics
Weekly pay is common in transport and logistics, and it has to be right every time — but whatever cycle you run, we work to it, with full visibility into every HMRC and pension payment made on your behalf.
High-Volume Payroll
Hundreds of payslips a cycle should not mean hundreds of hours of admin. Our service scales with headcount without you adding headcount of your own to manage it.
Recruitment & Staffing Businesses
Running payroll for a temporary workforce brings its own compliance load — PAYE, pensions, and reporting across a workforce that can change every cycle. We take on the calculation, HMRC remittance and reporting on whatever cadence you pay, while you remain the legal employer throughout.
Direct Employers
If you employ your workforce directly and just want the payroll administration and payment execution off your desk, we run it end to end — weekly, bi-weekly or monthly — from calculation through to the money landing in the right accounts.
