Zoho Payroll launched a dedicated UK edition on 20 October 2026. It extends Zoho's payroll coverage, which already spans India, the US, the wider GCC, and Canada, to UK employers, with the edition built around UK payroll requirements. For the launch announcement itself, see Zoho Payroll Is Now Live in the United Kingdom.

What It Covers

PAYE and National Insurance, HMRC reporting, workplace pensions, statutory payments and deductions, and the full employee payroll journey from onboarding through to final pay. It connects with Zoho Books and Zoho Expense, bringing payroll, accounting, and expense reimbursement together within the Zoho ecosystem.

Core Capabilities

Payroll Processing

Runs weekly, fortnightly, or monthly, with PAYE and National Insurance calculations built into every pay run. Generates payslips and BACS salary files, and manages pay run approvals, employee onboarding, previous payroll record migration, final pay processing, and P45 issuance for leavers.

PAYE, National Insurance, and RTI

Generates a Full Payment Submission (FPS) for every pay run, and supports Employer Payment Summary (EPS) submissions where applicable.

Statutory Payments, Deductions, and Forms

Manages Statutory Maternity, Paternity, Adoption, Shared Parental, Parental Bereavement, Neonatal Care, and Sick Pay based on employee eligibility, plus student loan repayments, Attachment of Earnings, Benefits in Kind, and P45 forms.

Workplace Pensions

Assesses employee eligibility and auto-enrols into the appropriate scheme, managing contributions across Relief at Source, Net Pay Arrangement, Salary Sacrifice, and RAS Basic Rate Only, with multiple pension groups for different contribution settings, plus opt-ins, opt-outs, and re-enrolment. See Zoho Payroll UK pension provider integrations for which providers are supported.

Payroll Administration

Manages payroll across multiple work locations with role-based access, payroll reminders, activity logs, and pay run approvals.
