Care home and homecare payroll in the healthcare industry, whether it is a care home, nursing home or care in the community, often have their own complexities.

These include high rates of staff turnover, a mixture of weekly and monthly pay types, varying hours, overtime payments and expense claims.

We have a good working knowledge of the way care homes, nursing homes and private hospitals operate across the UK.

Payroll challenges these businesses have include: –

• High staff turnover – large numbers of low paid workers often mean a high staff turnover.
• Foreign workers – dealing with employees from overseas can often cause issues with names, ID and bank accounts
• Bank staff – often a care homes will have a number of “bank staff” on their books, who only work occasionally giving rise to PAYE complications, employment issues and P45 complications.
• 4 weekly payroll cycles – This sector often operates in 4 weekly cycles for management reporting purposes, with resulting variable pay dates each month
• Management information – the profitability of a home depends on monitoring against tight margins. We can assist by providing payroll reports by department and role giving you exactly the payroll information that you need
