Moonworkers
London, England, UK
What it is
Moonworkers is a UK payroll platform for sole traders, employers, accountants, and enterprises. Its payroll software handles fixed and variable pay, multiple pay frequencies, statutory payments, National Insurance, and pension auto-enrolment calculations. Pay runs automatically submit required RTI information to HMRC, including Full Payment Submissions and Employer Payment Summaries. Holiday pay uses the 52-week average earnings method, including for casual and zero-hours workers. The service generates HMRC-compliant PDF payslips and can deliver them automatically to employees. Accountant Hub provides a multi-client dashboard and allows employers to enter data without a login. A REST API connects payroll and compliance functions with ERP or HR platforms. Listed pension integrations include NEST, Smart Pension, and The People's Pension; payroll journals can be exported to Sage, Xero, QuickBooks, IRIS, and KashFlow. Moonworkers describes encryption in transit and at rest and MFA for accounts. Prices exclude VAT, service is for UK customers, and small payroll plans have minimum fees. Plans include £1.69 per payslip for Accountant Hub, £3.99 per payslip for Payslip Generator, and £6.49 a month billed per payslip for Payroll Software.
