Our experienced team are able to manage all aspects of your payroll and are used to dealing with the issues that you face – however complex.
We serve many micro businesses such as small shops, hairdressers, offices and trades people with their first employee or with an apprentice or a couple of workers.
We understand the concerns of such businesses and the need to get the payroll done professionally, with minimal cost and fuss.
We can get you set up so that not only are you compliant, but you have the best and most suitable system in place for you. So it’s efficient, easy to manage and reduces your time, effort, stress and distraction and minimises inconvenience to your staff.
It pays to have such a system in place whether you are staying small or adding more staff later.
While large corporations can afford the resource, specialist software and expertise to run their own payroll department, for most SMEs it makes sense to outsource.
The cost of running such an operation in-house is an overhead which is often disproportionate to the number of people actually on the company payroll. Even for the larger SMEs, such as motor dealers, it makes sense for payroll to be processed by a trusted supplier to take advantage of secure backing up of data, legislation updates and a cost-effective and confidential service.
We understand the needs and the pressures of small and medium companies. We are always up to date with the latest technology, software and legislation so that we can support businesses to the maximum extent.
DCS manages the payroll for The Hodgson Group, which was founded by Les Hodgson back in 1959 when he took over a filling station in Seghill, Northumberland. The family firm expanded into car sales, which has seen them partner with global brands including Saab, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Hyundai, Toyota and Isuzu. The group runs dealerships across the North East and in 2010 opened its state-of-the-art Mazda dealership in Gateshead. We have adapted our services as the company has grown.
We are trusted by major accountancy firms, as well as other high volume partners such as recruitment companies to provide payroll services that meet the needs of their clients and are effective and friendly.

We do nothing but payroll and this specialism keeps us up to date and efficient. We can be your payroll consultant, as well as just a third party payroll provider.

Instead of spending time monitoring changes in taxation and legislation in relation to payroll you could be focussing on higher value work.
Like many leading accountancy firms JN Straughan is committing more time to monitoring changes in taxation and legislation and advising their clients accordingly. It therefore makes business sense to partner with an agency of DCS' quality to run their payroll services on their behalf.
As Partner, Bill Sawyer confirms, "We have built up a long and successful partnership with DCS.”

Manufacturing businesses face a number of specific challenges in relation to payroll. There are a wide range of job roles and pay rates, union agreements to adhere to and use of a variety of contract types.
Many manufacturers require industry specific reporting standards. Then of course there is overtime pay, variable hours, high staff turnover rates and a temporary workforce to consider too.
DCS has worked with manufacturers since its launch in 1994 and has the systems in place to provide the service and information the sector requires.
Specific reports can include details of the total labour costs, to analyse the efficiency of manufacturing processes or specific data on R&D projects or for products or departments or sites.
Director of Armah Switchgear, Andrew Mayo recognises the need to break down labour costs to analyse the efficiency of their manufacturing processes and for many years has turned to DCS for help.
