"We decided to outsource our payroll to a bureau in April 2018 owing to the increasing complexities and time it was taking us to complete it in-house," says Christine Silvester. "It was a difficult decision because we were nervous it would become very process driven with limited manual intervention and the ability to have a point of contact for questions"

"Pay Check has demonstrated that it isn't a large factory-type processing bureau. It employs people who are there to make sure the customer experience is a personal one. We have a nominated point of contact who works really well with us. He isn't afraid to pick up the phone and call us if he has any questions, and he is always looking to improve the efficiency and experience for us.

"Nothing is ever too much trouble and it is always very professional. We are delighted with the service we receive and so pleased we made the decision to oursource to Pay Check."
