Case Study: Wokingham Borough Council streamlines school payroll with Selima

Wokingham Borough Council - Customer Case Study

Wokingham Borough Council manages payroll for nearly 60 local schools, spanning nurseries through to secondary sixth forms. With a paper-based process that risked lost paperwork, duplication errors, and compliance challenges around LGPS, TPS, and pension auto enrolment, the council needed a more efficient way for each school to submit payroll information. Selima was selected for its strong schools-sector experience and managed payroll service.

Selima implemented an easy-to-use portal that lets schools submit amendments and salary changes electronically, while Selima handles the rest of the payroll processing. The solution ensured staff were paid correctly and on time, produced ePayslips, and extended to Pension Auto Enrolment administration with compliant employee communications. As a result, Wokingham Borough Council and its schools gained a faster, more reliable, and more consistent payroll service with reduced time pressure and better clarity.
