Payroll

Payroll can be a high risk area for any business as errors can prove very costly. Often an error in payroll will go undetected for some time which can greatly increase the financial exposure. Using a payroll system in itself is not sufficient when operating a payroll as potential issues can only be identified if the operator has sufficient technical knowledge.

At M & J Keegan & Co. we provide the following:

• Automated payroll systems run weekly, fortnightly or monthly depending on your business requirements
• Payslips delivered via on-line portal for employees to access when needed
• All Revenue reporting under PAYE Modernisation requirements
