Paul Toombs is Payroll & Reward Advisor at PayPoint, a leading cash and internet payments company with around 400 employees in the UK. PayPoint returned to SayCare Pass as their childcare voucher platform after problems with another provider.
Paul says “It was really straightforward to set up each participating employee with SayCare Pass. The online portal is far easier than a manual process with all the paperwork. And we always feel in control – new scheme members have to come through the Payroll team to get approval before they sign up with SayCare Pass, so we know who’s in the scheme and can make sure that all the admin side is properly covered. Managing the scheme is a very small part of our administration.”
“Our employees use their vouchers for after-school clubs as well as the more usual child-minders and nurseries. And we all like the notification email they get when regular payments go out of their bank account – they can be sure their childcare is paid for on time, and we don’t get queries to the payroll department.”
“Our account manager has really helped me, making the transition simple when we were setting up. We promote the scheme to staff in the induction sessions and around the company, using the posters, intranet notices and information leaflets which SayCare Pass provide.”
