I would recommend its software, iTrent, to firms in <\/span><b>fast-paced sectors like tech and healthcare<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Both experience constant change and upskilling ensures workers can adapt to new technologies, regulations, and best practices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Currently, over 1,000 UK companies rely on iTrent. Its built-in Learning Management Software (LMS) can be used to host, track, distribute, personalise, optimise, and scale up your corporate training programmes. <strong>Key features include:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">New starter onboarding<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">System admin support<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">HR legislation updates for managers<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Upskilling modules for data analysis<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What I like about MHR iTrent:<\/h3>\n<p><b>Salary budgeting: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">employee wages are rising everyday (the new <a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/people\/payroll\/national-living-wage\/\">National Living Wage<\/a> was an especially big rise this year). iTrent&rsquo;s unique salary modelling feature helps firms stress test new hires to gauge how a pay change will affect budgets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Timesheets: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">iTrent&rsquo;s mobile workforce management feature lets employees clock-in and out themselves. This data then flows directly to payroll, so consultant staff &ndash; or those working to a timesheet &ndash; know that their hours are accurately recorded and compensated. By comparison, other brands on this list, namely Moorepay and IRIS, do not offer this feature.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Employee empowerment: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">gaining buy-in from employees can be difficult if a system proves confusing to learn. iTrent provides pre-recorded training videos and a knowledge base to guide employees through the onboarding process.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Reasons to avoid MHR iTrent:<\/h3>\n<p><b>Recruitment: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">iTrent does not enable applicant tracking. If I hired a new employee, I would need to manually move their information from my recruitment software to iTrent, adding an additional step to my onboarding process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Payroll compliance:<\/b> iTrent<span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is not qualified to give advice on payroll compliance through the iTrent platform. Users will need to hire a third-party expert or auditor to ensure they are up-to-date with tax and legislation changes.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text] <\/p><div class=\"pros-cons\">\n <div class=\"pros\">\n <span class=\"pros-cons-title\">\n MHR iTrent Pros: <\/span>\n\n <ul class=\"pros-cons-list\">\n <li class=\"pros-cons-item\">\n MHR is ISO\/IEC 27001 certified, which means it meets international security standards for protecting employee data <\/li>\n <li class=\"pros-cons-item\">\n Generates every type of report, and includes the option to build your own <\/li>\n <li class=\"pros-cons-item\">\n Integrates with employee benefits software, Wagestream, so employers can manage bonuses and work perks from the system <\/li>\n <li class=\"pros-cons-item\">\n Email and phone support available.

During testing, we were particularly impressed by its automatic alert system. If there is a breach in payroll compliance, we discovered that Rippling will instantly notify users &ndash; potentially saving thousands in avoided penalty fees.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Because of this, I&rsquo;d recommend Rippling to<\/span><b> finance and insurance companies. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These sectors are specially regulated, meaning compliance is a particularly sticky area that Rippling can help smooth out. <strong>Key features include:<\/strong><\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Employee background checks <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">to comply with Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) regulations on senior staff qualifications<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Know Your Customer (KYC) checks <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">for finance businesses carrying out thorough checks on the identity and source of wealth of their clients<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Automated leave tracking <\/strong>ensures teams know how to adjust workloads if a key account role or manager goes on leave<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What I like about Rippling:<\/h3>\n<p><b>Ease-of-use: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">one of the key barriers to new tech adoption is the lack of knowledge from those using it. Rippling&rsquo;s interface is similar to Slack and, thanks to its helpful walkthrough tour and live training features, the platform is easy for new signups to master.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Customisation: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Rippling has an open API (a code that allows two software programs to communicate directly) so you can link it with your existing third-party apps. For example, Rippling can integrate with a company&rsquo;s CRM tool to track customer interactions and link them to employee performance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Reasons to avoid Rippling:<\/h3>\n<p><b>Trust: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">vendor data is stored in the US, which could be a security concern for companies with sensitive customer data. However, I was impressed by its long list of security features (including certificates for three international security standards) and I think these should be enough to suit most businesses that don&rsquo;t require advanced data protections.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text] <\/p><div class=\"pros-cons\">\n <div class=\"pros\">\n <span class=\"pros-cons-title\">\n Rippling Pros <\/span>\n\n <ul class=\"pros-cons-list\">\n <li class=\"pros-cons-item\">\n Transparent starting costs - Rippling charges &pound;7 per month, per user (although some packages also charge a bespoke fee) <\/li>\n <li class=\"pros-cons-item\">\n I'd recommend Rippling to global workforces (Rippling supports payroll compliance for employees based in over 150 countries) <\/li>\n <li class=\"pros-cons-item\">\n Per employee pricing structure means Rippling can scale with your workforce <\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <\/div>\n\n \n <div class=\"cons\">\n <span class=\"pros-cons-title\">\n Rippling Cons <\/span>\n\n <ul class=\"pros-cons-list\">\n <li class=\"pros-cons-item\">\n Payments will take 2-4 days to reach an employees&rsquo; bank account <\/li>\n <li class=\"pros-cons-item\">\n No free trial is available for those who want to test the software before purchase <\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<div class=\"jumplink-anchor-section\">\n <div class=\"jumplink-anchor-pointer\" id=\"link-3-staffology-payroll-by-iris\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n[vc_column_text]\n<h2>3.

It invested in a small business-oriented product called Staffology Payroll in 2021, which is a suitable system for <\/span><b>seasonal companies like landscapers or tourist-oriented companies.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Staffology&rsquo;s unique pricing structure is ideal for firms with fluctuating team sizes. It&rsquo;s also undergone some changes since March 2024 (our last round of research). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Whereas organisations <em>used<\/em> to pay &pound;1.50 per payslip for the first 19 team members, payslips are now free for this amount of users. Instead, businesses pay a minimum monthly charge of &pound;35 to access the system. Once you reach 20 employees, teams will start to pay <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>&pound;1.75<\/strong> per payslip over the 19 person threshold (plus the minimum monthly charge).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This low per-employee cost is a real benefit if you want to avoid paying for inactive employees during the off-season. That said, due to Staffology&rsquo;s monthly fee of &pound;35, it would be cheaper for teams with fewer than five employees to invest in Rippling (&pound;7 per month, per user).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What I like about Staffology:<\/h3>\n<p><b><\/b><b>Onboarding: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">unlike our top-rated brand, MHR, Staffology boasts advanced onboarding and support features. This includes a 24\/7 chatbot and a live training course so that you can train staff members to use the platform easily, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">even <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">if they&rsquo;re lacking tech experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Visibility: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">like MHR and Moorepay, Staffology also has a mobile app that lets employees access payslips via a self-service portal. This means employees can view pay information, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/payment-processing\/tipping-uk\/\">how many tips they&rsquo;ve earned<\/a>, and other important updates at any time &ndash; great if they&rsquo;re working odd shift patterns.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Reasons to avoid Staffology:<\/h3>\n<p><b>Shift management: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">staff can&rsquo;t record their own hours from the Staffology platform. I must flag this would be a significant drawback for workforces that rotate shifts, such as retailers and hospitality businesses with part-time or zero-hours workers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Payroll reporting: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Staffology is not ideal for complex data visualisation or analysis. Our researchers were unable to design a report that shows the differences between an upcoming payroll and the previous one (known as a changes report) or build custom reports.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text] <\/p><div class=\"pros-cons\">\n <div class=\"pros\">\n <span class=\"pros-cons-title\">\n Staffology Pros: <\/span>\n\n <ul class=\"pros-cons-list\">\n <li class=\"pros-cons-item\">\n Integrates with all types of HR software including accounting software and time and attendance software <\/li>\n <li class=\"pros-cons-item\">\n Supplies educational resources on payroll compliance to companies <\/li>\n <li class=\"pros-cons-item\">\n Is on the CIPP Payroll Assurance Scheme (PAS) for protecting employee data <\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <\/div>\n\n \n <div class=\"cons\">\n <span class=\"pros-cons-title\">\n Staffology Cons: <\/span>\n\n <ul class=\"pros-cons-list\">\n <li class=\"pros-cons-item\">\n Support is not 24\/7, so businesses will struggle to fix a payroll or HR emergency outside of business hours <\/li>\n <li class=\"pros-cons-item\">\n You can&rsquo;t carry out background checks on employees through the platform, so I wouldn't recommend Staffology if you hire international workers <\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<div class=\"jumplink-anchor-section\">\n <div class=\"jumplink-anchor-pointer\" id=\"link-4-moorepay\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n[vc_column_text]\n<h2>4.

Then you won&rsquo;t be blown off course towards a tool that complicates &ndash; rather than simplifies &ndash; your HR and payroll processes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To find our above list, I worked with an independent research team to examine each supplier in detail and judge how well they met the below criteria &ndash; and how each score compares:<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b data-stringify-type=\"bold\">Onboarding:&nbsp;<\/b>we examined each software product based on what learning materials it offers during setup, such as live training and tutorials.<\/li>\n<li><b data-stringify-type=\"bold\">Accuracy and expertise:&nbsp;<\/b>we looked at the resources available to help companies understand complex payroll processes like customer support channels (phone, email, live chat).<\/li>\n<li><b data-stringify-type=\"bold\">Security:&nbsp;<\/b>we judged each system on its security features, such as if it had ISO 27001 certification, whether it encrypts data, and where data is stored.<\/li>\n<li><b data-stringify-type=\"bold\">Customisation:&nbsp;<\/b>we looked at each provider to see how easy it was to tailor the software for your own business., frrom payslip amendments to building custom reports.<\/li>\n<li><b data-stringify-type=\"bold\">Scalability:&nbsp;<\/b>we looked at how well each software provider could accommodate the growth and changing needs of the organisation, such as how easy and expensive it is to add new employees.<\/li>\n<li><b data-stringify-type=\"bold\">Employee experience:&nbsp;<\/b>we appraised each provider on what self-service tools they offer staff to reduce admin time for managers, such as a mobile app.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<\/p><div class=\"jumplink-anchor-section\">\n <div class=\"jumplink-anchor-pointer\" id=\"link-what-to-avoid-in-hr-and-payroll-software\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n[vc_column_text]\n<h2>What to avoid in HR and payroll software<\/h2>\n<p><strong>1. No customisation: <\/strong>I cannot stress enough how difficult <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">last-minute revisions to payroll (such as bonuses, leave, or overtime pay) can make things for finance teams. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I always advise SMEs to look for a system with customisation features, such as the option to build bespoke reports. It&rsquo;s a bit more complicated, but open AI provision will also let you link existing software using custom integrations to ensure data is shared between your arsenal of business tools.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Data risk: <\/strong>p<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">rotecting employee data is hugely important for ensuring the workforce keeps faith with the company. Every payroll software brand should have two of the below <em>at the very least<\/em>:<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Encrypted data storage<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>ISO 27001 certification&nbsp;<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>CIPP accreditation&nbsp;<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>Data stored at a UK-based centre&nbsp;<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>Clean history of data breaches in the last two years<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>3. Poor scalability: <\/strong>s<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">witching to a new software provider is a huge hassle, but it may be necessary if your team is growing quickly. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Our research team looks for scalable pricing tiers, or per employee billing, when finding the best payroll systems, as this will let users hire more staff without instantly blowing their budget.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Bad user experience:<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> it&rsquo;s very frustrating when employees don&rsquo;t immediately take to a new platform. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Businesses can make things easier for staff by investing in a platform with ready-made tutorials and training materials, or live training sessions. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Responsive customer support teams, with at least two different contact channels, can also help to address common challenges.&nbsp;<\/span>[\/vc_column_text]<\/p><div class=\"jumplink-anchor-section\">\n <div class=\"jumplink-anchor-pointer\" id=\"link-new-and-incoming-hr-and-payroll-laws-for-2024\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n[vc_column_text]\n<h2>New and incoming HR and payroll laws for 2024<\/h2>\n<p>There have been a number of major employment law changes that will affect how HR and payroll teams operate this year. Here are five that small employers <strong>need to know <\/strong>about<strong>:<br>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>1. <a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/news\/flexible-working-bill-becomes-law\/\">Flexible Working Bill<\/a>: <\/strong>as of April 4, workers can now request flexible work arrangements from day one of employment. If you are using HR and payroll software that integrates with employee benefit software (such as MHR iTrent), you can easily track each request.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Carer&rsquo;s Leave Regulations 2024<\/strong> came into effect on April 6. All employees with caring reponsibilites can now take one week of unpaid leave a year.&nbsp;Rippling&rsquo;s leave features can help business owners to budget for temporary replacements or overtime costs in this period.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.<\/strong> On the same day, the <strong>Paternity Leave (Amendment) Regulations 2024 <\/strong>were introduced. Those on <a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/people\/employment-law\/paternity-leave-and-pay\/\">paternity leave (and pay)<\/a> can now split their two weeks&rsquo; entitlement into two separate one-week blocks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. <a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/news\/how-to-request-predictable-work-hours\/\">Workers (Predictable Terms and Conditions) Act<\/a>:&nbsp;<\/strong>from October, all casual workers will be able to request a predictable work schedule. Thankfully, if your software has timesheet features (as ADP and MHR iTrent do), shift pattern changes will be easy to implement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. <\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/payment-processing\/new-uk-tipping-act-laws\/\">Employment (Allocation of Tips) Act<\/a>: <\/strong>from October, 100% of tips will need to be passed on to workers.&nbsp; MHR, Moorepay, and Staffology all have a mobile app that lets employees view payslips and bonuses via a transparent self-service portal.<\/p>\n<h3>Related reading<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/people\/payroll\/payroll-administration\/\"><strong>How to manage payroll<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/people\/management\/best-hr-software-and-systems\/\">Best HR software for SMEs<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/people\/management\/what-is-hr\/\">What is HR?<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<\/p><div class=\"cta-large\" data-component=\"inline-cta-large\">\n\n <span class=\"cta-large-subtitle\">\n Start Comparing HR and Payroll Software Providers <\/span>\n \n <span class=\"cta-large-title\">\n Do you currently use HR and payroll software? <\/span>\n \n <div class=\"cta-large-box\">\n <a class=\"cta-large-button btn btn-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/webforms.startups.co.uk\/payroll?nwid=yes&_gl=1*1weeej*_ga*MTk3OTk5Nzk4OS4xNjQ5NzU5MDMx*_ga_TV8NP29ZR1*MTY1MTIyMjA3Mi4xMi4xLjE2NTEyMjM5ODcuMA..\" data-cta-type=\"inline-cta-link1\" target=\"_self\" data-eventaction=\"Yes\">Yes <\/a>\n <a class=\"cta-large-button btn btn-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/webforms.startups.co.uk\/payroll?nwid=yes&_gl=1*1n8k8g3*_ga*MTk3OTk5Nzk4OS4xNjQ5NzU5MDMx*_ga_TV8NP29ZR1*MTY1MTIyMjA3Mi4xMi4xLjE2NTEyMjQxOTIuMA..\" target=\"_self\" data-cta-type=\"inline-cta-link2\" data-eventaction=\"No\">No <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n <span class=\"cta-large-info\">\n Compare quotes in just minutes <\/span>\n \n<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq\">\n <span class=\"faq-title\">\n HR and payroll software FAQs <\/span>\n <ul class=\"faq-list\">\n <li class=\"faq-item\">\n\n <span class=\"faq-question\">\n What is better: HR and payroll software or services? <\/span>\n\n <div class=\"faq-answer\">\n This all depends entirely on how your business already operates.
