Outsource your payroll to us so you can focus on front-line delivery
With the consolidation of many GP practices into larger medical centres, there is increasing pressure on Practice Managers to run their operations more commercially. At the same time, the move towards larger practices and centres adds complexity to areas such as payroll.
One important commercial decision is what areas to be outsourced. Payroll outsourcing is simple, well established and cost effective for GP Practices and Medical Centres.
The pace of change has meant that surgeries are having to adapt and look to external expertise. Many Practice Managers may now have come from a non-NHS background, which can have implications in a lack of experience with NHS specific payroll and pension idiosyncrasies. Some of the rules around payroll are specific to General Practice and although there are many similarities with other Local Government Rules, there are some specific differences and, if approached in the wrong way, can have negative impact on employees pay and pension.
Outsourcing such complex payroll, to people with this specific expertise, takes away one area of stress from busy Practice Managers. Our dedicated payroll team understand the complexities of NHS payroll and NHS pension regulations, including:
