Purpose

The purpose of the programme was to provide Ministers with assurance that:

• expenditure on payroll systems is warranted
• payroll project risks are managed
• payroll systems are fit-for-purpose and are provided at a reasonable cost.

The programme team also worked with government agencies to:

• collate their interpretations of the Holidays Act 2003
• adopt a common payroll process that reflects good practice.

Avoiding development of bespoke payroll processes and simplifying procurement for payroll systems will help government agencies save on costs.

Resources

• All-of-government payroll procurement assurance framework
• Marketplace
