[sims] B2B - Payroll

[Edu-IT]

We're changing payroll provider. We used to send changes through B2B to our LA, however the new system doesn't accept it this way. Our personnel manager doesn't want the changes queining up in SIMS waiting to be sent - with contract changes and absences there would soon be a big build up. How is this dealt with? If they're sent, I imagine they'll just go to the LA and be ignored. Is there a better way to handle this? Somebody must have dealt with this. I hope!

45 views and no ideas? Darn. :-(

Don't suppose Capita is the new provider?

I’m guessing the LA has disabled the B2B account so the files are failing to post, the changes will build up and send in one big lump. Normally works, otherwise you have to do a full (manual) post. Have you gone an Academy? If you have I guess they have disabled it (and not setup a new B2B account) because the school doesn't have a data sharing agreement (thing) with the LA.

 

@PhilNeal - didn't know anyone was foolish enough to go with your payroll

@Matt40 - it's actually very slick now and what I'd have liked to have seen more LAs do!!

You'll have a to ping over some info, we're always looking at ways to improve. The question will be are your staff paid using the same system, including yourself. Nothing gets an upgrade done right and on time like the fear of not getting yourself and your colleagues paid on time!!
