HR and payroll software for schools helps manage the full end-to-end lifecycle of employees within educational institutions and streamlines paying staff salaries. Software should aim to make schools more efficient by automating routine tasks such as logging absence, reporting grievances, onboarding new staff and managing pensions.
Often bundled together, but can be purchased separately, education payroll software is used to pay school staff salaries. Integrated with school budgeting software, payroll platforms can ensure there are adequate funds available to pay staff. Payroll software also links with school HR software to make sure the correct amount is being paid to each employee, factoring in any sort of leave or absence automatically. Look out for products which are endorsed by the Chartered Institute of Payroll Professionals’ Payroll Assurance Team.
