PAYROLL UPDATE

PayCaptain reaches major milestone in 2022 PAYCAPTAIN, THE artificial intelligence (AI) powered, cloud payroll service, was set to hit the important milestone of processing £100 million in payments for UK businesses by the end of 2022, which it achieved! Launched less than two years ago, PayCaptain has seen rapid growth and provides payroll services to almost 50 major British companies. The company was declared 2022 software product of the year in the CIPP’s Annual Excellence Awards in October 2022. It has also been awarded a £400,000 grant by the Government’s Innovate UK agency, to develop the next generation of financial management tools for UK employees. It was the first payroll provider in the world to be recognised with B Corp status. Simon Bocca, PayCaptain’s founder and chief executive officer, said: “When we set out on our mission to supersede clunky, inefficient legacy payroll systems with a truly modern, AI-powered service that puts people’s experience first, we had faith that forward- thinking companies would be quick to see the potential. We’ve been hugely gratified by the rapid success of PayCaptain in 2022. We’ve always wanted to help people gain the best possible understanding and control of their money. For employers, the benefit is simple: financial worry among staff is one of the most significant drags on productivity. What PayCaptain offers couldn’t be more relevant – and smart businesses are seeing enormous value in our service and innovations. There’ll be much more to come in 2023.” Visit http://ow.ly/TBj650MmqNj for more information.

In her personal life, Meena enjoys spending valuable time with both family and friends. She also appreciates walks among nature, and likes to volunteer within the community, also staying active by attending dance classes. Meena said: ‘‘Payroll is a passion of mine, and I’m all about making a difference through the work I do. With over 12 years of experience in the payroll sector, what better way to further my passion than by joining an institute like the CIPP, which celebrates and represents payroll in everything it does? I’m proud to be joining the policy and research team, who have a very important role. I look forward to sharing the same vision as the CIPP by raising the profile of payroll.”
