Healthpay

The healthcare industry has extremely complex payroll configurations due to the range of full-time and part-time workers, shift schedules, overtime allotments and rigorous compliance requirements. With this complexity comes the need for knowledge, experience and robust processes in health payroll. Datacom Business Services’ Healthpay has the industry expertise to help you manage the complexity of the award configurations and accompanying compliance requirements for the public healthcare and private sector with Software-as-a-Service or business process outsourced options. With 40 years of experience successfully managing payroll systems for the Victorian public health sector, our managed, pay-as-you-go Healthpay service is secure, compliant and can handle the most complex award variations.

Available as a fully-managed, off-premise solution or partially-managed on your premise, Healthpay services can:

• Manage and deploy complex award variations: Hosting Victorian Hospital health payroll services, we issue 80,000 pay checks per month, operating within 4,480 award variations spread across 54 separate healthcare organisations. No matter how complex your systems requirements, you can be rest assured the experts are handling your Healthpay services.
• Boost health payroll services efficiency: Using automation and standardised systems deployment software with a fully outsourced business service, Healthpay can increase the number of pays each health payroll systems clerk processes from the average ratio of 550 to 1 to the best-practice 900 to 1,200 to 1. This increased efficiency can help you reduce your cost of operation and simplify health payroll systems for users.
• Provide understanding of health payroll systems interpretation: With specialist knowledge of health payroll systems awards and legislation, you no longer have to worry that someone wasn’t paid correctly.

Managing health payroll systems in-house can be inefficient at the very least or be considered a service at risk due to the regular changes that take place in the health sector. Trying to manage health payroll systems in this environment can result in:

• Incorrect award configurations: Without the structure and template approach offered by Healthpay, the complex award variations for health payroll systems can lead to incorrect and late payments.
• Non-standard or unofficial processes: In response to changing conditions or one-off special requirements, internal health payroll systems can develop non-standard or unofficial processes. Healthpay's templated approach ensures this risk is minimised.
• Increased staff and support overheads: Due to the meticulous nature of health payroll services, compliance and administration costs to support systems can quickly rise. A lack of health payroll services governance in this area creates the potential for extra work, requiring more and more operational and IT costs to deliver the same service as before. Healthpay maintains compliant processes and manages and delivers change.
