UK Managed Payroll Service For Care Homes

Due to
many residential care homes for older people being under-funded by
the Local Authority, budgetary accounting is vital.
With around 440,000 places in the residential care home sector, there is a growing need to provide a robust payroll infrastructure in your organisation. This will help you meet your care staffing needs within your set budget.
Outsourcing the payroll function is naturally the most cost effective option.
Residential Care Homes staff typically have various pay elements shown on
their payslips such as
day or evening shifts, enhanced overtime rates, bonus schemes and bank
holiday rates. We have several to choose from which is personalised with
your care home logo.
Our specialist payroll service for care homes is specifically
tailored for your reporting needs.
Payroll Processing & Reports
We provide your care home with a pre-filled timesheet for your
use already completed with your staff details together with a list of their normal pay description. If they are paid monthly, their contracted weekly hours will
already be displayed.
When the payroll timesheet arrives from your care home manager,
it goes through our
strict processing routine.
Many residential care homes use automated clocking in timesheet systems. We are happy to accept data from these systems as most are capable of exporting the data in csv format. Provided the system can export the employee ID, unit description
ID, unit rate and units worked, we can seamlessly import the data into
the payroll system. .
We focus on
the particular payroll reporting needs for your care home.
Due to our
specialist knowledge of providing payroll services for the care home
sector, we have the
expertise to setup departments within your care home so that you can see
the payroll cost for each cost sector.
Similar to doctors surgeries, the local authority is responsible for meeting
the assessed needs of your patients by arranging and funding part or all of the care home costs.
As payroll forms part of these costs, it is important that the reports are designed to reflect each
area component.
We can split the costs into managerial, domestic care,
residential care, administration, cleaning and so on, If you have
several residential homes, we can expand our payroll reports to include cost centres for you.
