It’s National Payroll Week!

We’ve been a little quieter than usual on social media recently, but there’s a very good reason, the team has been busy celebrating National Payroll Week and, just as importantly, getting on with what we do best… processing payroll!

National Payroll Week is a great opportunity to recognise the unsung heroes behind every payslip. Payroll is one of those professions where, when everything runs smoothly, the work behind the scenes can often go unnoticed.

But behind every accurate and timely payslip is a team of people making sure the details are right, deadlines are met and employees get paid correctly.

So, this week, we want to celebrate our fantastic Talk Staff Payroll team.

Help us give them the recognition they deserve with a like, comment or share, and if you know someone who works in payroll, why not give them a shout-out too?

Happy National Payroll Week!

October is coming… are your employment policies ready?

There are some important employment law changes coming in October, and while not every change will affect every business, there is one change that every employer needs to be aware of, the amount of time an employee has to bring an employment tribunal claim is increasing.

We know employment law can sometimes feel like a bit of a minefield, so we’ve put together a simple key points blog to help you understand what’s changing and what you might need to think about.

Have a read and get yourself prepared:

And while you’re at it, when was the last time you had a proper look at your employment policies?

If they’re looking a little worse for wear, why not let the Talk Staff team take a look? We can review your policies and help make sure you’re ready for the changes ahead.

Let’s Talk!

A little payroll change to keep an eye on!

It might feel like April 2027 is ages away, but we all know how quickly the payroll calendar catches up with us!

The Plan 1 student loan threshold is increasing to £28,005 from April 2027, which could mean changes to deductions for some employees.

If you're a local business around Belper, Derbyshire or the wider East Midlands, it's one of those little changes that's worth knowing about before it arrives.

We've put together a simple guide covering what the changes mean for employers, payroll teams and employees — without getting too buried in the payroll jargon!

Have a read of our latest blog here:

And, as always, if payroll is one of those jobs you'd rather leave to someone else, the Talk Staff team is here to help!

Today, the whole team at Talk Staff is celebrating as we turn 17 years old!

What an incredible milestone. Reaching 17 years in business wouldn't have been possible without the fantastic people who have been part of our journey. both past and present. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to our success over the years.

As we head into our final year before officially becoming an adult, we thought it would be fun to take a trip down memory lane. Who remembers our previous logos? And who remembers AVRec? AVRec is where the journey began, laying the foundations for the Talk Staff we know and love today.

Give us a like, leave us a comment, and share your favourite Talk Staff memory.

Here's to 17 years of success, and to an even bigger celebration when we turn 18 next year!
