HR and payroll software for multi-academy trusts
MHR brings HR, payroll and workforce management together in one platform. Help your trust standardise shared processes, connect academies and maintain a clear view of people data while supporting local requirements.
Run payroll consistently across academies
Managing different contracts, term-time pay calculations and pension schemes across multiple academies can make payroll complex.
