Workplace Pensions

9/18/2017

Our latest information mailshot is going out to our payroll clients this month - click here to download your copy.

This mailshot covers Workplace Pensions and how it will affect you and your staff - tailored information will also be sent to each client, and their employees, as we approach the assigned Auto Enrolment Staging Date. Many of our clients have already reached the AE Staging Date, with all others due to reach theirs by early 2018, and all newly registered employers will have to assess their staff for pensions immediately from Oct 2017.

Christmas and New Year

12/20/2016

The office will close for the festive break from 2pm this Friday (23rd Dec), reopening as normal from Thursday 5th January.

If wages for your staff fall within this period, we will have already contacted you regarding changes to processing of wages on this occasion but, if you are unsure of changes please contact us ASAP.

As always over Christmas, although we are closed, we will still be popping in to deal with anything urgent so, if you do need to contact us over the festive break, please email or leave a phone message and we will get back to you as necessary.

We would also like to wish all of our clients, their families and staff a Merry Christmas and best wishes for the New Year!

Jobs Board

9/7/2016

After positive feedback from clients earlier this year, we are happy to announce that have now added a Jobs Board page to our website!

This is a "middle-man" type function where our clients can send us details of jobs they have available, we will advertise positions on the board and then forward details of applicants back to the client. Although quite basic for now, we will look at tweaking/improving things if it proves successful and we hope that it may help our clients as many seem to be looking for staff at the moment. This is also a free service.

Please have a look at the new page and keep checking back fro updates - click here

Time Sheets

6/19/2015

Due to client feedback, we have reformatted the time sheets we have available to record hours worked by staff. The new look sheets are available to download from the Client Resources area in Weekly and 4 Weekly Formats.

A *NEW* 4 weekly timesheet which also includes space to record Sleepovers and Waking Night shifts worked has also been added and the columns for nights are now included on the weekly sheet as standard.

We don't necessarily need our clients to record hours worked on a time sheet but we know that many of our clients find this beneficial and some local authorities do require this information for financial monitoring purposes.

If you would like to use the time sheets but don't have access to a printer please let us know - we can either print copies and send them out to you by post or email a different format of the sheet which you can complete in Word or Excel and return by email each time. Sheets can also be supplied in larger print if required.

As always - feedback is greatly appreciated and we're happy to help with any queries regarding time sheets (or anything else!) so please don't hesitate to get in touch!

Pay Dates

6/16/2015

For most of our clients, payroll is run on a 4-weekly cycle to coincide with the frequency in which funding payments are made. Although this pay system works well in many ways, we understand that often our clients, and their employees, find it difficult to keep track of when the next pay is due.

We have therefore now developed this quick interactive table which can be used to check when pay dates will fall over the next 12 months. We hope it will be useful to everyone - please head over to the Pay Dates page to try it out!
