Payroll built for retail & wholesale businesses in Torquay
Seasonal staffing spikes
Christmas, Easter, and school holidays bring surges in casual and part-time staff. We onboard seasonal workers quickly and scale back down just as smoothly.
Variable hours and shift work
Retail rotas change week to week. We accept your hours data in any format and process it accurately each pay run.
National Living Wage across multiple age brackets
We apply the correct NLW rate for every employee automatically and update as rates change each April.
Holiday pay for variable-hours retail staff: one of the most commonly miscalculated payroll items in the UK
Variable-hours and zero-hours retail workers are entitled to holiday pay based on their average earnings over 52 weeks, not a fixed weekly amount. Most retail businesses either underpay or miss it entirely. We calculate it correctly every time.
Everything included for your Torquay retail business.
No bolt-ons, no per-payslip charges, no year-end surprises. One fixed monthly fee covering everything your Torquay business needs.
- Weekly, fortnightly, and monthly pay cycles

"We double our staff at Christmas every year. Sterling handles the surge seamlessly, new starters on payroll within hours and back down just as quickly in January."
