There are many payroll outsourcing companies around so why should you choose Dataplan Education? Well, not all payroll companies are created equal! We know we are different and we call it the Dataplan Education Advantage.

1. A refreshing approach. We have a very open and honest approach. We want to develop strong long term partnerships with all of our schools based on providing a professional and flexible service.
2. School payroll expertise. Our dedicated team acts for many schools and have developed the knowledge you will need to support you on your payroll needs. We also partner with CEFM Limited who have been assisting schools on financial, educational, personnel and legal matters since the inception of Local Management of Schools in 1990.
3. Customer care programme. As well as day to day processing you will receive ongoing contact from our customer service team, regular surveys and other opportunities to feedback.
4. Advanced exception reporting. Our customers tell us that with significant numbers of employees knowing all of the details to adequately approve a payroll is difficult. We have produced a unique exception report to provide comparison of key figures against previous periods, allowing you to immediately spot unusual variances and investigate.
5. BACSTEL- IP. This is the latest and most secure method to electronically pay your employees. We are among a handful of payroll companies specifically accredited by BACS to transmit payments via this method from our facilities and not via a 3rd party provider.
6. paySAFE. Our unique client portal allows you to send and approve payroll information securely online, avoiding email. It also gives immediate access to your payroll histories via our archive function. See more on paysafe
7. Exceptional guarantees. Guarantees are rare in the professional service world. We know our service is excellent but to help you minimise your risk in choosing Dataplan we have seven separate guarantees.
8. Transparent pricing. Schools are interested in a quality service that represents “best value”. In line with our upfront and honest approach, our pricing is inclusive not exclusive. We don’t strip out costs just so we can headline a low ‘per payslip’ price. But we also don’t land you with unexpected additional charges at year end. Once we have agreed a price, you can be confident that that is what you will pay.
