Delivering continuous improvement through our Transformation Programme
Through a thorough interrogation of our internal processes, the Transformation Programme focuses on using technology better by introducing automation and robotics where possible to bring about efficiencies that will improve the accuracy and overall service we deliver to clients, providing value and saving money.
The Programme helps organisations tackle the four main challenges in aligning with the NHS Operational Planning and Contracting Guidance 2020/21 through continuous improvement, and as an ISAE3402 and ISO9001 accredited supplier, our Payroll and Pensions solutions deliver:
Deliver efficiencies
Simplifying processes reduces complexity and risk and delivers efficiencies in cost and time
Employee Wellbeing
Improve employee wellbeing and retention and enables employee upskilling
Accessible Data
Employee data is easily accessible 24/7 in one secure, accessible place
Better use of technology
Using fully interoperable digital platforms aligns with the NHS’s ‘better use of technology’ target and makes everything more accessible
Improve Accuracy
Going paperless cuts time and processes by not requiring forms being completed, sent in and inputted
Automation
Use of automation and robotics aligns with digitalisation and NHS X initiatives, whilst also improving accuracy
“We chose to use NHS SBS’s payroll and pensions service after a competitive tender, at which their submission stood out above all the rest. We felt confident migrating, and thankfully, that confidence wasn’t misplaced…
The team have deep understanding and expertise of payroll and pensions. This expertise has already been commented upon by members of our staff, who have been impressed by the swift and helpful way their queries have been answered.”

Payroll and HR Services
Our fully-integrated and accurate way to manage the payroll needs of NHS organisations delivers savings on alternative services, using automated processes that free up individuals to manage more query-led tasks. Our remote, cloud-based business intelligence reporting helps form an efficient and effective service, delivering the best user experience, and optimising client ROI.
In full, these services include: HR transactional work; monthly, weekly and bank payrolls and payslip distribution; gross-to-net administration; reimbursement of travel, subsistence and expense claims; payroll reconciliation; payroll admin support – such as mortgage references and Child Maintenance Service (CMS) – as well as a full suite of digitalised reports and dashboards.
Additionally, our services are ideal to help Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) realise time efficiencies and financial savings across their organisations, enabling interoperability through automation and robotics as a better use of technology, whilst reviewing and improving transactional processes that help the NHS go paperless. Our remote access, real-time, cloud-based service analytics provide interactive visualisations and business intelligence capabilities that add real and additional value.
