Thank you Cyndy, that is very helpful, and re-assuring, in a way, that I am not the only one doing that manually. When the AI overlord robots kill all the people who are no use to them, you and I will still have a job, haha!
I thought it was just the payroll software that we use that was rubbish at that. Thank you for flagging! HMRC have the teeth to say which software is allowed for RTI submissions, so why can't they use their leverage to force payroll software manufacturers to calculate holidays correctly?
It does have the facility to do that, but there are never any new notices there, whereas notices are sent in the post to employees (and apparently to us, but Royal Mail often has difficulties locating our large, visible letterbox).

We are B2B too and that was my way of thinking (backed by the ICO's own website) until a client of mine had one of their trustees force us to register. The trustee in question is a lawyer and works in the field of data protection I believe, so we just had to do it in order to keep the client...
Hello,
There was a thread a while ago on this site about basic cloud-based VoIP solutions for small companies, but I can't find it anymore. We have a client with only 4 staff, looking for a very simple system to manage incoming calls from 4 different locations, transfer calls, and take...
