We are your specialist care payroll partner
Payroll and pension management in the care sector can be tricky. Care homes, nursing homes and home care providers all face the challenges of high staff turnover, variable hours and overtime to track, and that’s just the start.
As a service business dealing with the most vulnerable people, your staff are everything. It’s a tough profession with challenges in recruiting and retaining staff, so there can be no room for anything that demotivates your team, such as payroll errors.
In a sector where profit margins are tight, monitoring staffing costs requires detailed and accurate payroll reporting.
Why are care services payrolls so complex?
Our team have many years of experience managing payrolls for care homes, care home groups, nursing homes and in-home care providers all over the UK.
Here are some of the common issues we deal with:
- Many staff are paid on or near National Minimum Wage levels so changes in this need to be closely monitored
- High staff turnover means that there can be lots of starters and leavers
- A high proportion of workers who are non-UK nationals can create issues around ID, bank accounts and Right To Work
- Care home groups requiring multiple payrolls with different levels of sign-off
- The use of ‘Bank Staff’ can cause PAYE and P45 complications
- Variable hours and shift patterns mean payrolls differ every pay period
- Often there is a mix of weekly and monthly payrolls for different job roles
- Care home groups, acquiring new care homes and needing to TUPE across staff
