Tailored payroll for schools and the education sector, designed for your budgets

Payroll services for schools and academies are complex and time-consuming, with teachers, support staff and temporary workers on varying pay grades and term-time contracts. Errors or delays can affect budgets, compliance, and lead to penalties as a result.   

At Payroll Solution Services, we specialise in payroll for schools and the education sector, saving time, reducing admin and ensuring full compliance. From managing reporting and budgets to maintaining GDPR-secure processes, we make payroll simple and reliable. Whether you’re running a single school or a multi-academy trust, our solutions minimise risk, ensure transparency, and guarantee every employee is paid correctly and on time.
