Our mission is to relieve small and medium-sized organisations of their payroll responsibilities with tailored payroll solutions, in order to help you direct your valuable resources back into the core of your business.
With the structure of our education system shifting towards the establishment of academies and free schools, headteachers have suddenly found they have more control and flexibility over their budgets and service provisions. This means they are now able to consolidate departments to make for a more efficient and cost-effective system, including outsourcing their payroll.
Payroll may not be at the forefront of everyone’s minds but it’s one of the most important processes of any company, from large corporations with hundreds of employees to a small business with just two staff members. Understanding exactly what payroll involves is crucial to not only keeping your staff happy by paying them accurately and on time, but it also fulfils your legal obligations to HMRC.
Like any industry, the care sector has many specific needs ready to catch an inexperienced payroll provider off guard. If you’re considering outsourcing your payroll responsibilities to give yourself more time to focus on your core business and its people, it’s important to ensure the provider you choose knows the care industry inside out.
Payroll may not always be a business’s number one priority, but it is essential to get right, especially for temporary staff agencies who have a high volume of employees relying on them.
Particularly in smaller businesses, there is rarely a team member with expertise in processing payroll. Outsourcing your payroll has a number of benefits and can actually help you save money in the long term.
