Bond Teamspirit’s integrated payroll and HR software has now been in use at Ipswich Town Football Club for the past decade, with new legislation successfully adhered to last season.
The company worked closely with the club to create a smooth, seamless process for the adoption of both real time information (RTI) and auto-enrolment. This involved assessing the information required each month – information that was already within the software system but had to be pulled out in the format required by the pension provider.
Bond Teamspirit’s system now automatically tracks employee payments to ensure automatic inclusion – a process that is critical given the large number of part time employees on the club’s books.
According to Denise Booth, HR & payroll manager at the football club, one of the central benefits of the Teamspirit application is the ability to customise the information included on the payslip to reflect different working processes. For example, the hours worked by catering staff are broken down by week, with information including description and value/number of hours; while stewards see match date and name as well as the value being paid for that match.
“Over the past decade payroll has become far more complex – not least with the introduction of RTI and auto-enrolment,” said Booth. “Bond Teamspirit has enabled the club to manage the new requirements with no additional administrative overhead and I feel confident that whatever new schemes are introduced by HMRC, Bond Teamspirit will easily manage the legislative complexity.”
