Your Questions Answered
Everything you need to know about our fully managed payroll services
Is managed payroll right for my business?
Managed payroll can be an excellent choice for businesses looking to simplify payroll, ensure accuracy, and maintain compliance with regulations. Evaluate your specific circumstances and needs to determine whether it’s the right fit for your business.
How much does outsourcing payroll cost?
With Tugela People Payroll, you enjoy a transparent pricing model with no hidden costs – beyond initial setup costs, simply pay per employee. Once you engage with our expert payroll team, these will be discussed.
How does Tugela People get my payroll data?
Data is transferred securely via our payroll management platform. It can either be entered directly against the employee or multiple changes can imported in one transaction. Or if you currently export data from your HR system, you can upload the extract to the platform for processing. We can also explore bespoke integrations that can automate this process.
Will my data be secure?
At Tugela People, we have taken extensive measures to ensure the utmost data security. We are proud to be ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 27001:2022 certified, demonstrating our commitment to maintaining high-quality services and robust information security management systems. Additionally, our payroll solutions leverage ISO-certified software, reinforcing the integrity and confidentiality of your data.
What is the setup process, and will there be any disruption to my business?
There will be no disruption to your business. Our onboarding process has been designed to facilitate a smooth transition whether you are currently with another payroll provider or transitioning from an in-house solution. Payroll is a critical business process, so changing payroll provider does pose a risk to business continuity. This is why extra care is taken to map out the transition step-by-step with built-in audit and validation mechanisms. The goal is for your employees to experience minimal disruption when switching providers, except for the added benefits they will receive.
Will pension contributions be taken care of?
Your pension contributions will be expertly managed as part of our comprehensive services. We take care of the entire employee enrolment process, which includes seamless communication and data synchronisation, all done directly with pension providers. Simultaneously, we synchronise this data directly with the pension providers, ensuring that contributions are accurately and promptly processed.

HR System Selection

We’ll help, you maximise the return on your HR System investment by improving efficiencies and making people management easier.
The right HR software (also known as HRIS or HR systems) helps UK SMEs save time, stay compliant, and create a seamless employee experience. From onboarding and absence tracking to performance management and payroll, HR software powers a more effective HR function.
We combine HR, technical and project management expertise to provide HR Systems implementation support services internationally from our head office in the UK.
Having a Learning Management System (LMS) is just the start. An LMS provides a platform for delivering and managing your company’s training programs. However, to ensure that the learning delivery is successful, you need to engage your learners through appealing and appropriate content.
At Tugela People, we know that implementing an HRIS is just one part of a successful HR strategy. Without the right legal foundations and operational structure, even the best systems can fall short. That’s why we’ve partnered with Farringford Legal to offer a unique outsourced HR service—designed specifically for growing businesses that need more than just technology.
System optimisation is a transformative process that encompasses enhancing existing system capabilities and seamlessly integrating other related systems. By streamlining processes, optimising resource allocation, and enhancing overall efficiency, we empower HR professionals to thrive in the ever-evolving world of workforce management.
Identifying and selecting the right LMS for your organisation can be a challenging task. With our expert systems, industry knowledge, and experience, Tugela People can work in partnership with you to identify a solution that meets your requirements.
As established Sage People partners, Tugela People are here to help you get the most out of your HR System. We can ensure that the HR software meets your requirements and can provide full support from system selection to scoping, project management, implementation and training. Once your HRIS has gone live, our Managed Services team will support you and your team to ensure that you make the most of your Sage People HRIS and maximise your investment.
