Time is money

What are your payroll processes costing you?

Your current payroll processes may be costing your school or MAT more than you think. Ask yourself these questions...

  • Are regular payroll errors causing employee dissatisfaction?  
  • Could your school or trust cope if your payroll manager wasn’t available for the monthly pay run?  
  • How long is it taking you to keep up with monthly changes to legislation and compliance? 
  • How much time do you spend dealing with queries over pension scheme deductions and maternity pay?  
  • Is lack of visibility over payroll reporting costing you money?
