[SchoolFinance] Payroll/HR

[Adam Hanson]

Hi Carrie,
We have not looked at outsourcing payroll.
We have 1,500 active employees.
We have 3 payroll staff (1 manager and 2 specialists) and 6 HR staff
(including a director and assistant director) who handle all benefits you
mentioned, as well as all other traditional HR duties such as hiring,
onboarding, employee investigations and discipline issues.
What software system do you use?
Thanks
