School payrolls are currently experiencing changes in government policy. We have seen extensive changes in the Local Government Pension scheme not to mention the ever changing tax legislation across all business sectors.
CompuPaye can handle your School's payroll and
Teachers or Local Government pension
requirements. Our customer services are available to discuss your
schools payroll requirements in more detail before preparing our
proposal paying attention to your specific requirements.
We provide payrolls for most schools including nursery pre-schools or Independent schools.
Payroll Processing & Reports
We provide your Independent School with a pre-filled timesheet for
your use already populated with your staff together with a list of
their normal pay description.
When the payroll timesheet arrives from your HR department,
it goes through our
strict processing routine.
Many
schools 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 have several
their payslips to choose from which is personalised with
your school's logo.
Our specialist payroll service for Independent Schools is specifically
tailored for your reporting needs.
Contact us for a more information and a
quotation as
the price depends on the nature of the payroll services required for your
School.

Frequently Asked Questions
|
|
Our school is on a tight budget. How can I be sure we don't overspend?
|
We already have cumulative budget reports built into our
reporting suite for Schools. We can output the payroll
reports and payroll journals in excel for you to integrate
into your own systems.
We can also provide a budgetary "what if" report in advance of any proposed pay increases.
|
|
We have a complicated pay structure.
Can you cope with this?
|
We can setup several pay elements for your school. We already have a
payroll reporting infrastructure in place for many schools which can be
specifically tailored to suit your own school and we are familiar with spinal pay structures.
We can also design output files to interface with your
in-house HR applications.
|
|
How about annual retrospective pay awards.
Can you cope with these?
|
We can calculate these for you as we understand that
sometimes pay increases cannot be implemented straight away
due to budgeting. We can phase the increases over 2 payroll
runs to help with your budget.
|
|
Many of my teachers have student loans. Can these be paid through the payroll?.
|
Student loan deductions
are implemented automatically by us upon receipt of
notification from HMRC, if a new employee presents a starter
P45 with Y in the student loan box or statement D ticked on
the starter P46.
|
|
We have 2 types of pension scheme. Can we have a monthly and annual report for each?
|
We are already familiar with many
pension schemes including the
Teachers or Local Government pension schemes. We currently provide pension reports in the format required for your pension scheme provider with some on paper and some on Excel.
We also compile and submit the required pension annual return.
|
|
My teaching staff use a swipe card to clock in. How do I
present this information to you?
|
Most timesheet systems are capable of exporting the data in csv format. We also provide you with our own interface file if your school does not use a swipe card system. The information is seamlessly imported into our systems.

My school has an academic year of 40 weeks. How do I calculate the pay?

Schools running costs

We focus on
the particular payroll reporting needs for your Independent school.
Due to our
specialist knowledge of providing payroll services for the Education
sector, we have the
expertise to setup departments within your school so that you can see
the payroll cost for each cost sector.
As payroll forms part of your schools running costs, it is important that the reports are designed to reflect each
area component.
We can split the costs into managerial, teachers, secretarial, administration and so on.
We can also adopt your current payroll coding system. All schools have several departments, we can expand our payroll reports to include the job titles within each department.
