CLAIRE KENNEDYAPPOINTEDASHEADOF PAYROLL SERVICES THE UNIVERSITY of Lincoln has appointed Claire Kennedy to the new role of head of payroll services. Claire, who has seventeen years’ payroll experience, is responsible for managing the delivery of monthly and weekly payrolls across five PAYE (pay as you earn) schemes, pensions administration across six schemes, expenses processing, payroll benefits, leave management and employee reward.
A key function of the role is to lead the payroll team of four through a transition into the ‘payroll services’ team expanding their remit and scope of engagement.

The longer-term aim is to allow Claire to focus on: strategic organisational and payroll related projects, working with key stakeholders, pay and reward mechanisms, building relationships with third-party benefit providers, and compliance through process review. Claire is excited about the opportunities this brings for her team but also the payroll profession, allowing the reconceptualisation of payroll as an area of strategic influence and decision making – shifting from process driven to a pro-active approach to service delivery.
