Hi PensionerPayroll,
Maximum Employees
BPT is designed to have a maximum of nine employees
BPT allows for flexibility within the workforce during the tax year and will accommodate up to 15 employees during the year
It is not advisable to start the year with 10 or more employees
You have difficulty switching to a commercial product midway through the tax year if you go above 15 employees
If you have a leaver noted in BPT they do not count towards the maximum of 15 employees allowed
You can find a list of commercial software providers at
Find payroll software that is recognised by HMRC

If you are using Third party Software, there is no recommended approach I can provide
Thank You.
