“Working patterns have changed dramatically over the last decade and far fewer businesses operate the stereotypical 9-5 hours. Having a time and attendance system that is cloud based is becoming increasingly essential in order to accommodate anything from flexible working or remote working to job sharing and hot-desking across locations.

“Her Majesty’s Passport Office has increased its flexibility and capability to respond to extreme external pressures which have a direct effect on its workforce requirements. This ensures that critical citizen facing services can be easily scaled to meet demand.”

Equiniti’s experience in HR and payroll includes processing payments for NHS trusts. Their clients include the Scottish Parliament, the Electoral Office of Northern Ireland and the Royal National Lifeboat Institution. They have also processed payments for 20 percent of UK pensioners and support 20 percent of work-based pension schemes.
