Focus on the key things, avoid spending time on laborious admin and reduce unnecessary costs. Multiple employments and term time only working contracts are managed simply.
Our HRIS software features employee self-service – allowing employees to update their own records, access payslips, request holiday or clock in and out when working across different sites.
Stress-free industry-specific pension management
With inbuilt statutory calculations, iTrent provides required reporting to bodies such as Teachers’ Pensions, Nest, Aviva and many more.
A Pension Data Service, which looks after your data and prepares it for submitting is also provided. We do the hard work while you retain control of the submission – ensuring deadlines are met.
iSAMS integration
Our partnership with iSAMS Management Information System (MIS) delivers an integration that saves HR teams’ time with automated data exchange across the iTrent and iSAMS systems.
People information is only created once and any updates to existing information are captured within both systems, reducing admin.
This significantly removes the need for data duplication and improves accuracy and expenses, ensuring data transparency.
“iTrent, to me, is incredibly good value for money. It helps any school or any independent foundation like us to be innovative and forward thinking. I would absolutely recommend iTrent.”
The Mill Hill Schools Foundation
“iTrent has helped us remove errors in HR and payroll and centralise our people data. This all used to be paper-based, and the errors were a problem. Being a global business, GDPR is a huge concern for Cambridge Education Group and we needed to feel confident with how we handle and protect out data across the globe. The business has never had anything like this before.”
Cambridge Education
“The recruitment module has enabled us to receive applications online and brought us into the twenty-first century in terms of recruitment.
