What about complex pension arrangements?

Pensions are one of the main areas that prevent payroll providers entering the school payroll market. Education and local government pensions are complex and that is why ensuring you look to a provider with a proven track record of dealing with school payrolls and pensions is essential.

Your payroll provider will establish a relationship with your authority and ensure that they understand exactly what is needed before putting in a framework to ensure deductions are correct. They should also complete and submit your monthly pension returns, complete the annual reporting requirements and also make payments to the LEA on your behalf if required.
