Compliant, customisable software for complex in-house payroll at McAvoy

After fighting with errors thanks to their old payroll software not being updated with the latest legislation, McAvoy partnered with Cintra.

With a complex set up of rates and allowances across a range of shifts and overtimes for their 300 employees, McAvoy use their custom payroll software set up and conditional functions to keep their payroll accurate—and fully compliant, thanks to Cintra’s almost-daily updates.

Not only is the payroll software very versatile and intuitive, but there's also a wonderful support team. As a Cintra customer you're listened to, and feedback gets worked on to improve the software. I would highly recommend Cintra, we're very happy with the product and communication with the team.

— Hilary Bell, Payroll and Benefits Coordinator, McAvoy

The challenge

  • Legislatively compliant software: After facing issues with old software not updating in line with payroll legislation, McAvoy went out to market for a new partner.
  • Backlog of errors: Tackling the errors caused by their previous payroll software, the McAvoy team had to spend a lot of time fixing months of payroll records.
  • Lack of relationships: McAvoy prioritise their relationships with the people behind the platform as well as the software itself, so they set out to find a partner that aligned with their own partnership ethos.
  • Complex payroll requirements: hourly rates, salaries, allowances overtime rates and nightshift rates, etc , they needed a secure platform that could be customised to meet their requirements.
