Fieldspilot for

Approved hours in. Gross pay out.

Plumbers on overtime, gardeners with paid travel, self-employed subbies: every hour and extra becomes gross pay, ready for your payroll provider.

A 47-hour week, added up for you

Liam’s week, confirmed

Only approved hours count towards pay.

01 Switch it on

Set it per person. Staff and subbies alike.

Give each employee an hourly, overtime and travel figure, or pay self-employed subs by the job. A pay rise never rewrites past pay.

Pay weekly, every two weeks, twice a month or monthly.

  • Hourly, overtime and travel rates
  • Self-employed subs
  • Four pay periods
  • Rate history kept
02 It runs itself

Payroll cost, known before payday.

A running estimate grows as timesheets are signed off, so a heavy overtime stretch shows up early.

Timesheets still pending are flagged.

  • Running estimate
  • Signed-off timesheets only
  • Pending timesheet flag
  • Review before sign-off
03 You stay in control

Add, deduct, then lock it.

Add back pay, reimbursements or a bonus for anyone, and set deductions that repeat each run. Once you sign off, it’s locked.

A uniform deduction repeats until you remove it.

  • Reimbursements
  • Back pay
  • Repeating deductions
  • Locked once signed off
04 Hands off to the next step

Taxes stay with your payroll provider.

Fieldspilot hands over the numbers; your provider handles PAYE, National Insurance and paying the team. Mark the run paid and it’s on record.

Each person’s year-to-date figure stays on file.

  • Export for your provider
  • Mark as paid
  • Year-to-date per person
  • Tax and NI left to your provider

Employees and subs.Paid from the same hours.

Pest control

Turn on paid travel and a 22-minute drive between rural pest stops, in this example, is paid on the run with the job hours.

Roofing

Registered CIS subcontractors have 20% deducted by the contractor (gov.uk). Roofing subs sit on their own pay type, paid by the roof, apart from your crew.

Pressure washing

Average pay across all hours can’t fall below the minimum wage (gov.uk). Summer wash weeks get overtime worked out at your own rate.

Property maintenance

Take uniform cost off maintenance techs as a recurring deduction, £20 a run in this example, so nobody has to remember it.

Window cleaning

Start the pay period on Saturday to match your cleaning week, and every run covers the same seven days the crew worked.

Tree care

Set a daily overtime tier, like time and a half after 8 hours, and storm clean-up days split overtime and double time for you.

Painting

Fortnightly runs collect two weeks of repaint timesheets into one pay run, so the crew is paid every other week from the same hours.

Contractor Payroll Software questions

Does Fieldspilot pay my team or file taxes?

No. It works out gross pay and payslips; your payroll provider handles PAYE, National Insurance, filings and paying the team, so you keep the provider you already use.

Can I change a pay run after I sign it off?

No. Sign-off locks it so the record can’t drift. Fix anything while it’s in draft or review, then sign off.

Can I pay self-employed subcontractors too?

Yes. Pay subs per job or by the hour alongside your employees, and export them with everyone else.

Can I see this period’s payroll before it ends?

Yes. A running estimate updates as timesheets are signed off, so you see an expensive overtime period coming.

Which plan includes Contractor Payroll Software?

Contractor Payroll Software is on the Business plan (£159 a month plus VAT). Every account starts with a 14-day free trial, no card needed, and you can cancel any time.
