Practice managers, is your payroll ready for the thousands of new employees that are on their way?

The Queen’s Speech further solidified the Conservative’s plans for additional NHS funding.

“For the first time, the National Health Service’s multi-year funding settlement, agreed earlier this year, will be enshrined in law.”

One of the goals of the additional NHS funding is to hire 6,000 more doctors and 6,000 more primary care professionals on top of the 7,500 extra nurse associates and 20,000 primary care professionals who were previously confirmed.

What does this change mean for your GP Practice’s payroll?

Increased admin:

Practice managers will have to be ready to process and onboard a vast number of additional employees onto their payroll.

If you don’t have a modern payroll solution, preparations will have to be made to account for the significant amount of extra admin responsibilities.

Added costs:

Also, if you rely on printing and posting payslips every month, you can expect an increase in the costs and resources required as you will have a substantial number of new employees who require paying.
