Pay & Bill: approved hours in, wages and invoices out.
Signed-off hours become Friday’s payslip. Placement fees become the client’s invoice.

Run UK agency payroll with the PAYE, NI and holiday pay attached
Gross-to-net starts from the agreed hours, rates and pay type. Payroll reads the run and clears the exceptions before it goes.
The pay run
- Gross-to-net, PAYE tax codes and National Insurance categories
- Holiday entitlement, holiday pay and statutory sick pay
- PAYE, limited company, umbrella and CIS in the same run
Pensions and deductions
- Assessed, enrolled, and both contributions worked out with the pay
- Provider-ready files, opt-ins, opt-outs and postponements
- Refunds, student loans and attachment of earnings orders
What comes out
- The HMRC cycle, with the details checked before submission
- A bank file ready to upload, and a record of what was paid
- Payslips, self-bills, remittances, P45s and P60s, and who has had them
Caught before Friday
- Where each worker stands on AWR, and whether they can actually be paid
- A list of what still needs doing, and permissions that match the job
- Every run, adjustment and submission on the record afterwards
Agents on this desk
Timesheet Tommy chases the outstanding hours and writes up the exceptions before payroll opens the run. Manager Max puts the same position in the morning briefing. Someone you’ve given access approves every payment, submission and ledger posting. See the agents working inside Talisman
The same work, carried into the invoice and the ledger
Approved timesheets, bookings and placements carry their agreed details into the client invoice run. Finance reads what came out, and can reverse it and build it again before a penny posts to the ledger. Multi-currency payments and invoicing are live, with each market keeping its own statutory rules.
The invoice run
- Invoice runs, self-bill clients, and the timesheets attached as backing
- VAT, reverse charge, Making Tax Digital and credit notes
- Contractor invoices matched to the original document
The ledgers
- Sales ledger, receipts, cash allocation and aged debt you can chase
- Suppliers, purchase invoices, remittances and who can approve a payment
- Nominal ledger, budgets, period end and year end
Who can see what
Payroll, worker records, bank details and the finance side are permissioned by role. Every adjustment, deduction, document, payment and finance entry ties back to the run and the person it came from. That is what an auditor asks for first. See how permissions and the audit trail work
Run your finance in Talisman, or send the invoice, supplier, payment and nominal detail across to the accounts package you already have. Your finance team picks which at setup, and signs the route off before the first live run.
Pay & Bill FAQ
How does an approved timesheet get to payroll and to the invoice?
The approved timesheet carries its hours, units, rates and values straight into Pay & Bill. That one agreed line feeds the worker’s pay and the client’s charge. Operations, payroll and finance read the same version. Its status shows where the work has got to: open, held, in process or posted.
Which UK payroll processes does Talisman actually run?
Gross-to-net, PAYE, National Insurance, holiday pay, statutory sick pay and HMRC real-time reporting, where they are set up. The cycle checks the worker details before submission, and covers starters, leavers, the final submission and a correction to last year. It produces a bank file ready to upload and the statutory documents.
How are pensions and deductions handled?
A run you start assesses auto-enrolment and works out both contributions with the pay, then prepares a contribution file for the supported providers. Payroll follows every opt-in, opt-out, postponement and refund. Student loans and attachment of earnings orders use the same calculation, with protected earnings respected where the order requires them.
If somebody gets it wrong, can you see who and when?
Yes. Payroll can check a pay run or payment and run it again where the process allows. A timesheet adjusted after processing needs separate approval on the pay side and the invoice side. Finance can inspect, reverse and rebuild an invoice run before it posts. A credit note keeps the correction on the record.
Follow a shift and a perm placement all the way to the invoice
Bring one of each. The shift goes through the pay run, the payslip and the bank file. Both go through the client invoice and the ledger, on real Pay & Bill screens.
