National Payroll Week is a week of appreciating the dedicated teams behind payroll and the vital role they play in the smooth operations of the business. But what do the payroll team do exactly?

Let’s go behind the scenes and delve into the intricacies of each of the Advance TRS payroll teams’ roles and the services that they offer.

What payroll services do Advance TRS offer?

Our team often refers to themselves as like ‘2 sides of the same coin’ – there is the payroll side and then the billing (invoicing) side, with both functions relying on each other to work.

Each team member plays an important role in making this as seamless as possible for candidates, contractors and clients. So, what roles do each of our payroll team members play?
