How Payroll Giving Works
If an employee decides to donate to charity
through their pay, whether it be through our website
or a promotion, through your company or through a charity,
the process is initially the same.
A copy of the form the employee fills out is passed
on to the company's payroll department so they know
how much to deduct
from the donor’s salary. All of the monies deducted
for Payroll Giving are sent to the company's chosen
Payroll Giving Agency. The Payroll Giving Agency then
directs the appropriate amount to the donor's chosen
charities
(the Payroll Giving Agency is also sent a copy of the
form so they know where to direct the funds). A further
copy of the donor’s form is forwarded to their
chosen charity, so a thank you can be sent, along
with
regular updates about the charities campaigns, if the
donor wishes (please note, we can only guarantee a
thank
you from charities represented by Hands On).

Benefits
The major benefit of Payroll Giving is the tax
relief charities gain. Since Payroll Giving is a pre-tax
deduction, anything that is donated has the tax that
the donor would have paid added on, meaning donating
£5 to a charity only actually costs the donor
£4.00 at basic tax rate, £3.00 at 40% tax
and the government pays the difference.
See What is Payroll Giving for further info.
Another major advantage is that the donation is made
straight from the donors pay, making it hassle free
for the donor to give money to any charity of their
choice.
