Fully integrated HR and Payroll
We know the problem: your employee records are stored in one place, but your school employees are paid based though a separate payroll system or provider.
The result:
Time-consuming, duplicate data entry with high potential for errors and, when you get it wrong, disgruntled employees. That’s why our HR and payroll solutions are fully integrated and API-drive, so you don’t have to lift a finger!
Here's how it works:
-
HR system is the single source of truth
Changes to employee details are made and approved within Every HR.
e.g. Staff member goes on maternity leave and changes their bank account details.
-
Payroll system takes HR changes
Pay run opens and queued changes are pulled into payroll. Payroll run, payslips, BACS payment, FPS and pension reports generated.
Appropriate maternity pay, tax and pension contribution calculated.
-
HR system updated
Payslip delivered to employee portal in Every HR.
Staff member receives correct maternity pay into their new bank account.
What does integration mean to you?
-
Staff member
- Update employee details in the employee portal and be confident that pay will be correct
- View payslips and pension contributions in the HR employee portal, without having to contact HR
-
Payroll Manager
- Process data entered by the HR team and employees without manually entering data
- Save time and ensuring accuracy
- Stay in control of payroll by locking down the payroll system once payroll cut-off has been reached and storing data for the next payroll run
-
School or trust leader
- View employee, absence and performance data in IRIS Central
- Combine this HR data with payroll costs
- Determine effectiveness of staffing structure and discover ways to drive efficiencies
Before using Every by IRIS’s HR software, the ratio of admin to valuable support felt like 2:1. It’s now the opposite way around.”
