Having to run a payroll for seasonal businesses is as complicated as it sounds. You know what it’s like when you have a seasonal business; things can change quickly. One minute it’s quiet, the next you’ve got a full team, a packed schedule, and barely time to breathe.
No matter what the business, there are ebbs and flows of staff; this is particularly felt in the tourism and hospitality industry, where the staff turnover is particularly high. Keeping up with a payroll is just one more thing on an ever-growing list.
That’s where we come in.
At Highland Payroll Services, we’re here to make payroll for seasonal businesses as smooth and flexible as possible.
Seasonal Work Makes for Seasonal Challenges
Managing seasonal staff is not a task. One month, you might have only a handful of employees, and the next, you’ve doubled it. There are new starters, leavers, changes in hours, holiday pay, and possibly different pay schedules; the list goes on and on! It’s a lot to juggle even for the most organised person, and if you get it wrong, it can lead to fines or unhappy staff.
Of course, let’s not forget your HMRC obligations either: RTI submissions, pensions and National Insurance; it all still applies, no matter how temporary the team member is. It’s the old adage, so much to do, so little time!
Why Highland Payroll Services Works for You
We understand seasonal businesses because we work with them every day throughout the year. Whether it’s local hotels and tourist businesses, restaurants, or event organisers, we know that you need flexibility, fast responses, and above all, zero fuss.
We’ll handle the payroll side so you can focus on what matters: your customers and your staff. That means you’ll get accurate payslips, correct contributions, and everything submitted to HMRC on time, every time we’re there for you.
We can even set up pension contributions and deal with opt-ins and opt-outs, no matter how often your team changes.
Designed for Rural and Tourism-Based Businesses
Being based in the Highlands, we know that most seasonal businesses don’t have large admin teams to handle this sort of thing.
That’s why we keep things simple: you’ll have one point of contact, a straightforward process, and online access. Whether you pay staff weekly, monthly, or something in between, we’re ready to support you and make your life just a bit easier.

Using Highland Payroll Services for your seasonal payroll takes the pressure off and lets you concentrate on the important aspect of running your business. You’ll stay compliant, avoid mistakes, and as a bonus, have a happy team. When the season ends again, don’t worry, we can scale down with you, no problem.
