Decision details

Provision of Payroll Services to Third Parties – Streetwise Environmental Ltd.

Reference: D1222

Decision Maker: Portfolio Holder for Corporate Resources and Performance

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

To request the Portfolio Holder’s approval to enter into a contract to continue to provide a payroll service to Streetwise Environmental Ltd on a full cost recovery basis.

Decision:

The Council’s Financial Regulations enable work for third parties to be undertaken to enable a service area to maintain economies of scale and its existing expertise, subject to obtaining the approval of the Executive before negotiations with the third party are concluded.
The Council has provided a Payroll service to Streetwise since 1 September 2014. This generates external income that reduces the residual cost per payslip for the Shared Service Agreement with Rushcliffe BC. Without this income the Council’s proportionate share of total Payroll costs costs would increase above the current approved budget.

Reasons for the decision:

Generation of income from the provision of payroll services to Streetwise Environmental Ltd reduces the cost per payslip to the Shared Service.

Alternative options considered:

Not to continue to provide payroll services to Streetwise.
