The reality of running a business….

There isn’t “work time” that is standard

I don’t work out if I’m working over the hours allowed under working time directive

I don’t even earn NMW 😂

I work all hours but I do find time for power lifting, walking and my other life roles of wife, daughter, stepmum, project manager, friend and sister!

I wear multiple hats because I have to in order to grow and scale my business

I have huge fears that can be crippling and also goals that push me everyday to push past my fears

It’s not for the faint hearted I tell you!!

It is for those with courage, grit, determination, belief, embrace the fears, accept the emotional rollercoaster and always find a way to secure a positive result even if you have to navigate many paths to find it!

Now here is to the next phase of my journey!

“The same finding came up last year.”

That sentence should make us pause.

Identifying a payroll control gap is useful. Assigning it, resolving it and checking the outcome is where improvement happens.

A report can show what happened. A well-managed review should also explain:

🔎 What was checked?
📁 What evidence supported the conclusion?
👤 Who reviewed it?
📌 Who owns the follow-up?
✅ What justified closing the action?

When those answers sit across scattered files or in one person’s head reviews become harder to repeat and unresolved issues become easier to overlook.

Our article, Internal Payroll Audit Tools: A UK Buyer’s Guide for 2026, explores how to compare spreadsheets, payroll reports and dedicated tools against practical needs.

The strongest approach isn’t necessarily the one producing the most reports. It’s the one that makes checks repeatable, evidence traceable and follow-through manageable.

A controlled spreadsheet may suit a focused review. More complex operations may benefit from a more structured approach. Start with your controls, then test the tool against the work.

DuraSuite brings diagnostic tools, compliance resources, research and project management together to support operational assessment and improvement planning. Assess its specific capabilities against your review requirements.

Find the gap. Own the action. Close the loop.

What creates the biggest challenge in your payroll reviews: finding evidence, assigning ownership or getting actions closed?

28/10/2026

“We thought payroll was doing that.”

Six words you don’t want to hear as the payroll deadline approaches.

A system update, revised policy or new approval process can look straightforward on paper. Then it crosses HR, payroll, finance and IT—and the handovers become the risk.

Who owns the decision?
What needs to happen first?
Who checks that the revised process works?
Where is the guidance everyone should follow?

A task marked “complete” doesn’t answer all of those questions.

Our practical guide, Payroll Change Management Tools: A Practical Guide for 2026, explores how to choose tools around your operational needs:

🔎 Diagnose weaknesses before designing the change.
📚 Connect relevant guidance to practical actions.
🤝 Make owners, dependencies and decisions visible.
✅ Test controls, support adoption and review outcomes.

More features won’t automatically give you more control. Clear responsibilities and well-managed handovers are what make those features useful.

DuraSuite brings diagnostic tools, compliance resources, project management and knowledge together to support the operations around payroll. It doesn’t process payroll itself.

Because “I assumed someone else had it” is a shaky foundation for payday.

Where do handovers create the most friction in your payroll changes?

Some days you come home with a very full heart and a head buzzing with possibility. Today was one of those days. ☀️

I spent the afternoon with the Women in Business Network in Uckfield, surrounded by absolutely brilliant women business owners.

Different businesses, skills and interests. Different journeys. Some just starting out; others with more than 30 years in business. Each bringing something entirely their own.

What stayed with me were their stories. The experiences that had brought them to where they are now, and the intelligence, creativity and determination around the table. Gifted, inspirational, funny, joyous women. It was simply lovely to be among them.

A special mention to Kathryn Colas , founder of the Kathryn Colas Academy - Menopause Training , whose work focuses on menopause education and training, helping workplaces better understand and support women and this woman has owned a stunning hotel where I used to live so she’s remarkable joyous woman. Such important work, and a wonderful example of the breadth of expertise in the room.

And what a setting: The Highlands Inn, brilliant food and sunshine in a beautiful part of the world.

I’m loving building my network closer to home. There’s a different pace here from London, and something rather special about connecting with people who share a love for the area we live in.

It also comes at an exciting moment in my own business journey. I’ve signed my first enterprise-level contract, I’m preparing to demo DuraSuite to one of the world’s biggest payroll and HR companies in two weeks, and a beautiful partnership with HBHR is beginning to take shape.

There’s a lot happening, and I’m allowing myself a moment to enjoy it.

Today reminded me how much it means to share that journey with other women building businesses of their own.

I left feeling inspired, connected and very glad I went. 💛

Policies exist. Ownership doesn’t.

A central library is one thing. Knowing who owns each policy, who decides an exception, and how legal change actually reaches payroll is another.

One recent Policy & Governance Health Check scored 39/100.
Red 🛑
Exposed 😧

The biggest gaps were named ownership (33) and employee acknowledgement (25). Regulatory alignment sat at 42.

That combination leaves exposure to HMRC, The Pensions Regulator, the Fair Work Agency and the ICO.

Day to day it looks like this:

• Nobody can say who decides an exception.
• Policies don’t match practice (NMW checks test the wrong rules).
• Legislative change arrives late or informally.
• Acknowledgements and queries live in inboxes.
• Payrolling of benefits (mandatory 6 April 2027) and holiday records readiness sit on controls that can’t currently be evidenced.

NMW penalties run at 200% of arrears (up to £20,000 per worker) with public naming. TPR escalating penalties can reach thousands a day. HMRC inaccuracy penalties go up to 100% of tax lost.

The non-fine costs - remediation, adviser fees, lost trust - often larger.

Take the free DuraSuite Policy & Governance Health Check.

Instant personalised report with your scores, a clear RACI of who should own what, a risk register mapped to regulators, and a practical 30/60/90-day plan.

No workshops.
No generic advice.
Just named accountability and evidence readiness before the regulators or an auditor find the gaps.
