Built around UK payroll review and RTI preparation workflows
WageFlow is designed to support clearer payroll preparation, approval, records and RTI workflow readiness.
Not affiliated with or endorsed by HMRC.
Why WageFlow
Payroll buyers need proof, control and plain scope. WageFlow is positioned around the parts of payroll that create pressure before the run is approved.
Clearer payroll preparation
Bring payroll setup, changes, checks and approval into one controlled workflow before payday.
Built for UK payroll control
Designed around PAYE payroll, CIS payment workflows, education workforce complexity and bureau processing.
Review before approval
Focus on flagged changes, unusual movements and records that need attention before the run is approved.
Built for cleaner payroll runs
The point is simple. Keep payroll preparation visible, make review deliberate and record decisions clearly before payday.
Clear about public scope
WageFlow public claims should be matched to released product capability. We do not claim HMRC endorsement, guaranteed compliance, automatic filing, CIS return automation or education pension scheme handling unless the capability is released, tested and confirmed.
Use now
Designed for UK payroll workflows, clearer approvals, auditability and controlled preparation.
Confirm before public use
HMRC recognition, filing automation, CIS return handling, TPS, LGPS and detailed Education Payroll rules.
Choose the payroll route that matches your work
PAYE, CIS, Education Payroll and bureau work create different pressure points. The site now gives each buyer a clearer path.
PAYE payroll for UK employers
For SMEs and payroll teams that need a calmer way to prepare, check, approve and record payroll work.
CIS workflows for construction payroll

How it works
A simple route from setup to checked payroll approval.
Step 1: Prepare the run
Set up company, employee, contract, subcontractor or workforce data for the payroll type being processed.
Keep the work organised before calculation and approval.
Step 2: Check what matters
Review flagged items, data gaps, changes, movements and records that need attention before payroll approval.
Less blind checking. More focused review.
Step 3: Approve and record
Approve with visibility and keep a clearer record of payroll decisions, outputs and run history.
Guided setup and parallel checking are available for added confidence.

FAQs
Straight answers before you buy.
What is WageFlow?
WageFlow is UK payroll software designed to help teams prepare, check, approve and record payroll work with clearer workflows.
Who is it built for?
It is built for UK employers, payroll professionals, HR teams, construction payroll teams, education payroll teams, accountants and payroll bureaus that want better workflow control.
Do you run managed payrolls for clients?
No. WageFlow is software access only. Employers, payroll teams and bureaus use WageFlow to run and control their own payroll workflows.
Does WageFlow claim HMRC recognition?
No. Public claims should match released product capability and current recognition status. WageFlow does not claim HMRC endorsement on this website.
Does WageFlow automatically file payroll submissions?
The exact filing capability must be confirmed for the relevant release and payroll type. The safer public position is RTI preparation workflow support, not automatic filing unless released and verified.
What is the Free Micro PAYE Evidence Plan?
Eligible employers with fewer than 10 employees can apply for free PAYE software access. In return, we ask for structured period-end feedback. Any testimonial used in marketing requires separate written approval.
How do extra employees work?
PAYE Starter includes 5 employees with extra employees at £1.50 per month. PAYE Pro includes 25 employees with extra employees at £1.25 per month. CIS, Education Payroll and bureau pricing use separate software routes.
Can I choose annual or monthly billing?
Yes. Annual billing is paid upfront and saves the equivalent of 2 months compared with monthly pricing on standard PAYE plans.
Can I import employee data?
Yes. WageFlow supports CSV import for employee data so you do not have to key everything in from scratch.
