The effective management of payroll requires both operational excellence and specialist advisory insight. activpayroll’s collaboration with The Leppington Group (TLG), a UK-based payroll consultancy founded in 2011 by Will Jackson, brings these elements together. The firm helps organisations optimise payroll operations, ensure compliance, and improve efficiency through services including payroll assessments, consulting, vendor selection, change management, continuity support, and cyber security advisory.
This article focuses on three areas of particular relevance in the UK payroll landscape: legislative changes, zero hours contracts, and cyber security. These topics illustrate how combining global payroll delivery with specialist advisory expertise supports organisations in maintaining accuracy, compliance, and operational resilience.
Recent updates in UK employment and payroll regulations require careful review and adjustment of payroll processes. TLG helps organisations audit systems, identify compliance gaps, and implement strategic solutions to reduce errors and maintain operational effectiveness.
Reflecting on the value of collaboration in this space, Will Jackson comments:
“Our collaboration with activpayroll demonstrates how bringing together global delivery capability and independent advisory insight can create better outcomes for employers and their people. By working side by side with clients, technology providers, and service partners, we can collectively raise the bar for compliant, resilient, and future-ready payroll operations across the industry, which is something that matters greatly to me and TLG.”
Zero hours contracts present specific challenges for payroll accuracy and compliance. TLG provides guidance on calculating pay and entitlements, managing reporting obligations, and ensuring transparency with employees, enabling organisations to manage flexible work arrangements reliably and compliantly.
Payroll functions handle sensitive employee data, making robust security essential. TLG advises on cyber risk mitigation and data protection measures, helping organisations safeguard payroll information, implement access controls, and maintain regulatory compliance.
Will Jackson has worked with activpayroll since 2018, combining advisory insight with global payroll operational expertise. Debbie Gibson, Head of Partnerships at activpayroll, notes:
