Also, please could you provide me with who your payroll provider is/ or
what system you use to payroll your temporary staff ?
If by “temporary staff” you are referring to ones engaged through
recruitment agencies, we would be invoiced by the recruitment agency, who
then pay the individuals, and so a payroll system is not used in these
instances.
If however, by “temporary staff” you are referring to members of staff on
zero hours contracts, fixed term contracts or campus jobs workers, then
these are paid the same way permanent staff are, through iTrent (MHR).
