Well I've had a look round the internet and found these sort of things .... ready ???????
Fees
Enquiries
Funding
Parent newsletters - only printing off as I'll write them
budgets
staff wages and PAYE - although I have found a company that will do it for £20 per month
Book-Keeping
Petty cash/invoices etc/paying bills
Waiting lists
Booking staff training
Updating website and prospectus
At the moment we pay 2 hours per week to a member of staff to deal with the money side of things but that isn't really working anymore as her computer is broken so I'm doing things like parent invoices etc. We also pay our Treasurer about £35 to pop to the bank to pay in monies/to do the wages (but he never manages to get as far as writing a pay slip) and he pays himself an extra weeks wages when he has to work out pay increases. I've thought that with the money we save from those 2 then we could employ someone else to do all the above and it wouldn't cost too much more than we're already paying out.
I was thinking about 10 hours per week - do you think that's realistic for the above or would they need more or less? Wages would only need to be done once a month but we could swap over to this other company. Actually I think it's going to be less but what do others think????
My head is
with it all!
