The Challenge

University Academy 92 (UA92) is a ground-breaking higher education institution co-founded by the Class of ‘92 and Lancaster University. Based in Old Trafford, Manchester, UA92 is committed to making higher education accessible to all no matter the background, through its founding principles of accessibility, social mobility and inclusivity. UA92 offers a portfolio of degree and higher education courses across business, sport, media and digital disciplines, preparing students for the world of work by offering industry-led courses. UA92 gives students a clear route into industry by opening the door to leading businesses. Working in partnership with leading industry names including Microsoft, TalkTalk, KPMG and Manchester United,
students benefit from mentors, guest lectures and work experience opportunities, in addition to character and personal development guidance, and financial support beyond traditional scholarships. Following successful growth UA92 required an effcient payroll solution that would reduce their administration resources and enable them to scale up as the business continued to grow. UA92 went to tender to source a payroll provider that would be cost-effective and provide a managed payroll solution to include intuitive software and support if required for their internal finance team.

PayEscape’s Solution

PayEscape’s managed payroll service matched UA92’s requirements perfectly and the payroll solution will support them now and as their business continues to grow.

Solution Overview:

  • PayEscape managed payroll service
  • Intuitive easy to use software
  • Full support from CIPP certified team
  • P11d processing
  • Comprehensive on-boarding and training

PayEscape worked closely with UA92 during their implementation phase to ensure all data was updated and on-boarded correctly. Our implementation team provided comprehensive training and supported UA92 through their on-boarding and during their parallel and first pay runs. UA92 quickly became confident in using our software to submit their payroll for our back oce checking processes.

Our CIPP certified team is always on hand to support UA92, from support with adding new starters to compliance or legislation enquiries. We also provide additional and tailored training to support UA92’s finance team as they grow. Ann Ramanaden, Finance Controller – UA92 On-boarding with PayEscape couldn’t have been easier. We were fully supported by the implementation team at every step and knowing that the team were just a phone call or email away quickly gave us peace of mind in the service we had selected.

Beyond Payroll

Employee Self Service (EES)
Each employee has access to their own secure cloud based portal, Employee Self Service (ESS) and here they can access their payslips, P60’s or P45’s online. In addition, and to save further double entry of information each employee has the ability to change their address and bank details within ESS which means that UA92’s finance team can save even more time and resource.

Emma Dean, Finance Officer – UA92

PayEscape’s software is intuitive and simple to use. We quickly got to grips with the system after our training session and support from the team. PayEscape has made payroll processing so simple we actually look forward to running our payroll.
