Case Study: Unicorn Grocery achieves streamlined, accurate, on‑time payroll with IRIS Payroll Business (IRIS Software Group)

A worker’s co-operative streamlines their payroll processes to ensure each employee is paid correctly and on time

Unicorn Grocery, a Manchester-based worker’s co-operative founded in 1996, needed a simple, reliable way to manage a complex fortnightly payroll while staff share multiple roles across the business. With 67 owners, five probation members and 13 casual employees to pay, Unicorn Grocery turned to IRIS Software Group, using IRIS Payroll Business alongside IRIS OpenPayslips and IRIS Payroll Hosting to meet its needs.

IRIS Software Group implemented IRIS Payroll Business with cloud hosting and OpenPayslips, giving remote access, electronic payslips and hands-on support. The solution lets Co-Treasurer Laura Marziali efficiently run payroll for 85 people, resolve issues quickly through knowledgeable remote support, save significant administration time and maintain compliant online filing.
