Day 1 to 20
Your team works. Leave requests and overtime are logged with the desk as they happen.
Crown employs and pays your Pakistan-based team for you. Contracts, monthly payroll, FBR income tax, EOBI, provincial social security, leave and gratuity run through one desk in Islamabad, and your finance team receives one sterling invoice with a journal-ready breakdown.
UK companies rarely start with us. They start by paying a freelancer directly, or with a provider who sends a single invoice and very little else. What brings them to Crown is control: a predictable payroll calendar, a breakdown their accountant can post without questions, statutory registrations they can see, and one named desk that answers both the company and the employees. We handle the Pakistani side completely, from the employment contract to the final settlement, so your people are paid correctly and your books stay clean.
Your team works. Leave requests and overtime are logged with the desk as they happen.
You approve time, overtime and leave. We issue the GBP invoice and draft payslips.
Funds arrive. We convert at the bank rate and queue salary transfers.
Salaries land in Pakistani accounts; payslips and your journal CSV are sent the same day.
| UK PAYE for the employee? | No. Crown withholds and files Pakistani income tax. |
|---|---|
| Invoice currency | GBP, once a month. |
| VAT on our invoice | Normally reverse charge on your side; confirm with your accountant. |
| Currency conversion | Bank rate, shown on the breakdown, no margin. |
| Gratuity | Provisioned monthly and shown separately, so there is no surprise at exit. |
| Ending the service | Agreed notice, records handed back, no exit fee. |
Salaries, employer contributions, gratuity provision and medical cover are charged at cost. Crown adds a fixed monthly management fee per employee, quoted in sterling. HR administration, payslips, reporting and employee queries are included; nothing is billed by the hour.
We take a handover file from you or your current provider: contracts, salary history, leave balances, gratuity accrued and social security numbers. New contracts recognise each person's original joining date, so service and leave carry over, and we switch on a payroll date so nobody misses a salary.
A GBP invoice, a per-employee breakdown (gross, income tax, EOBI, social security, gratuity provision, medical, management fee), payslip copies and a CSV you can import as a journal into Xero, Sage or QuickBooks.
We agree a monthly calendar: timesheet and leave approval about seven working days before payday, invoice the same day, funds due three working days before payday. Salaries reach Pakistani bank accounts on the date in the contract.
Yes. Shift timings, any late-shift allowance and overtime approvals run through the monthly cycle. Pakistan is five hours ahead of the UK in winter and four during British Summer Time.
The Crown desk. Employees contact us directly about payslips, tax certificates, leave balances and loans or advances, and we copy you on anything that needs your decision.
No. We run payroll for a single employee or a whole team; larger teams are priced as a group.
Tell us headcount, cities and your current monthly cost. A fixed sterling quotation the next working day.
