Why schools switch 

Payroll that understands school complexity 

  • Education specialists only 

    Every person on your account works exclusively on education payrolls, so pay spines, backdated awards, and term-time working are second nature, not something to explain first.

  • TPS and LGPS handled end to end

    We manage every pension submission and return, including the Teachers’ Pension Scheme and Local Government Pension Scheme, so nothing gets missed at year end.

  • One named contact, not a call center 

    Your account has one named contact who knows your school’s setup and can answer a specific question without you explaining it again.

How it works

One service four ways it takes payroll off your desk

    full managed hr every | Every Payroll Services Education

    You approve, we handle the rest

    Send us your hours and starter or leaver updates, and we process the pay run, file your statutory returns, and manage pension submissions. You review a report and give it your approval, and that’s the full extent of your payroll workload.

    Moving provider, without the risk

    Fear of disruption keeps more schools on underperforming payroll than almost anything else. Our structured five-stage implementation runs parallel payrolls before go-live, so every calculation is proven correct before it counts, and staff are paid right from the first live run.

    The relationship that knows your school

    Large bureaux pool clients into rotating teams, so the relationship starts over every time your contact changes. We build your account around one named person who learns your pension arrangements and approval preferences, and carries that knowledge forward.

    Promises you can hold us to

    We back our service with five contractual guarantees covering deadlines, compliance, confidentiality, price, and no surprises. Miss a pay date when your data arrived on time, and that’s not a service issue to escalate, it’s a breach of contract you’re entitled to call out.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

We run a structured five-stage implementation: discovery, defining your setup, gathering your data, a dummy run alongside your current provider, and go-live. Every calculation is checked before it counts, so nothing reaches staff unproven.

No. We run parallel payrolls before go-live and validate every calculation against your current provider first, so your first live run with us is accurate from day one, not a test case that risks how your staff get paid.

Yes. You review a report before every pay day and give it your approval before anything is processed. We handle the pay run and file the returns, but nothing goes out to staff without your sign-off first.

Yes, our systems connect with other IRIS solutions and third-party software.

Yes. Our dedicated education pension team manages monthly contributions, annual service returns, and submissions for the Teachers’ Pension Scheme, Local Government Pension Scheme, and other major occupational schemes such as NEST.

Your named contact already knows your school’s setup, so you get a direct answer without explaining the context first or being passed between departments and put on hold.

A fixed annual price agreed up front, with no mid-year surprises. It’s one of five contractual guarantees in our Client Charter, alongside deadline, compliance, and confidentiality commitments you can hold us to.

Yes. We run payrolls for as many schools as your trust needs, on different pay dates if required, even where schools have different terms, conditions, local authorities, or local government pension schemes.

Our specialists work exclusively on education payroll, so TPS and LGPS detail is second nature rather than something to look up. You also get a named contact and reports before pay day, not after it has happened.
