Case Study: St Chad’s saves £90,000 on absence and 2 days a month with Cintra payroll outsourcing

Bringing visibility, control, and insight back to St. Chad’s MAT payroll

St. Chad's Academies Trust, a multi-academy trust with 19 schools, faced significant challenges managing its complex payroll. Relying on manual spreadsheets and costly local authority services led to errors, a lack of transparency, and no visibility into crucial data like pensions and absence. They partnered with Cintra for a customized part-managed payroll service to address these issues.

Cintra provided a tailored solution that automated calculations and delivered full visibility and control over payroll through its platform. This enabled St. Chad’s to implement new data-driven procedures. The results were substantial, saving the trust £90,000 on absence costs and reclaiming two days of internal resource time per month, allowing staff to focus on strategic initiatives rather than administrative tasks.
