AVING AN EASY to use payroll and administration system that works is extremely important in running a school effectively. So what exactly is the difference between outsourcing the schools’ payroll system and keeping everything in house; and what are the benefits of having a single, easy-to-use software package to manage all school related information from anywhere in the school?
Payroll systems Payroll is an essential aspect of all businesses and one that schools need to ensure is done right. For example, every school needs a process to track staff hours, days worked and overtime. Schools also need to be able to track client billing hours, expenses and the in-depth functions that affect the daily running of a school. As a result, a payroll system can be anything from a simple
spreadsheet, to a fully automated program which is integrated to all other aspects of your computing environment. An important decision schools must make when selecting a payroll system is whether outsourcing the system or selecting an in-house operation represents the most costeffective approach. By outsourcing its payroll duties a school is contracting a third party to perform all payroll tasks, while having an in-house system allocates payroll duties and control to internal staff. Many schools outsource their payroll system because the specialist companies offering this service provide knowledge and expertise in the intricacies of school payroll requirements. There are, however, schools that advocate the in-house option, as it’s through using your own staff that you may get a real insight into what your school needs. 16 X
