Lately, the phrase ‘fully managed’ payroll service provision for schools and/or Multi Academy Trusts has been prevalent in our industry, but are you really receiving a fully managed service from your current provider? Here at Working with Schools we provide the following as standard:
- A named, ‘day-to-day’ contract who processes your payroll from start to finish. All we require from you is accurate input, we take care of the rest
- A user-friendly, secure payroll input portal for the submission of your data
- Preliminary reports provision for your review and as a result, the opportunity to make tweaks or corrections to the initial run
- Fast response times to queries. No time spent on hold or in a telephone queue
- Full pensions administration. Teachers’ Pensions MCR and LGPS iConnect submissions taken care of by us with no work required by you
- End of year pensions returns completed, such as the Teachers’ Pensions End of Year Certificate (EOYC). With audit assistance also provided as standard
- Your choice of payslip distribution – paper, email or a secure portal to collect payslips
- Fully managed Bacs service. We are included in the Bacs Approved Bureau (BAB) directory
- All HMRC Real Time Information (RTI) submissions taken care of
- End of month ‘Cost Analysis’ report provided, which gives a full breakdown of total costs to you, where your costs are paid to and the date that they will leave your bank account. This can be tailored to your budgeting needs
If the above aspects (plus many more) are of interest to you, or you are not currently receiving them as standard then please get in touch and our friendly payroll team will be happy to explain our service in more detail.
