Our services are divided between four directorates with over 11,000 employees engaged in a variety of different occupations with varying pay and terms and conditions of employment and multiple contracts and job roles. We also provide a range of HR and payroll/pension services to third party organisations, Schools, Academies and Multi Academy Trusts, running circa 20 monthly payrolls and 3 statutory pension returns to West Yorkshire Pension Fund, Teachers Pension Scheme and the NHS Pension Scheme.
