IRIS Payroll Professional Implementation

Successful implementations are based on an understanding of each client’s individual business needs. The implementation starts with a comprehensive hand over from our commercial team.

One of our experienced consultants then contacts you to plan and arrange your IRIS Payroll Professional implementation. We guide and work alongside you through the process of migrating data, training your team, parallel running so you are ‘ready for payroll’.

We don’t believe that ‘one size fits all’ and our team will recommend an implementation package to suit each individual client based on their specific business needs and their ability to support the implementation process.

Typical implementation elements to be decided on:

  • Migration – employee data and companies
  • Migration package needs – for Sage & Iris
  • Module specific options including:
  • Pension reform – Auto Enrolment support in Payroll Professional
  • Pay Spines – Setting-up Pay Spines and MDC
  • Bureau management & Billing
  • Importing variable pay run data – using import tools
