Due to the nature of our business we have some very occasional staff coming on and off the payroll several times a year – we are told that this is so they don’t accrue holidays and other benefits (contractual sick pay and eligibility to join the pension scheme etc.) Most of these people are employed elsewhere and just do the occasional shift for us as and when required. Do we really have to go through all this payroll administration each time or is there a way round it? It has been known for an individual to have 6 or 7 records within a payroll year!
