Supporting Fosters Solicitors during the pandemic and introduction to furlough pay
The Price Bailey Payroll team supported Fosters Solicitors LLP with its payroll in May 2020 during the pandemic; we were able to guide them through the uncertain times and helped navigate the extra complications that came with the lockdown, remote working, reduced staff, and the introduction of furlough pay.
Founded in 1761, Fosters Solicitors LLP is one of the oldest law firms in England. They have won many significant legal awards and are ranked as a Top Tier firm 2022 by the Legal 500 UK. Their rich history and customer-focus commitment have enabled them to be adaptable and resilient through many centuries of change.
Heather Brown, Head of Staff Care/Senior Associate, Fosters Solicitors LLP:
“We made the decision to transfer our payroll over to Price Bailey in May 2020. They have been supportive throughout the process, particularly during the pandemic given the extra complications we all found ourselves in. We had to adapt to working remotely – often with reduced staff to assist – and the introduction of furlough pay and understanding this.
Throughout this time Price Bailey remained consistently by our side, assisting with all our concerns patiently and proactively. We had complete confidence in the advice we were given and the knowledge of the team, especially in respect to changing rules around furlough pay and the application of this.
The Payroll team is always on hand to answer any queries we have and are quick to respond. They provide clear and easy-to-understand advice that I can easily share with my colleagues and value greatly.
Communication is easy and the sharing of documents via a Price Bailey dedicated portal gives us the confidence that our information is always kept secure. We have been able to develop a strong working relationship with the Price Bailey Payroll team and feel that we are valued as clients.”
Paula Maltby, Payroll Senior, Price Bailey:
“We initially started providing Fosters Solicitors with our payroll services in 2020, and they have – and will continue to be – a very valuable client of ours.
They are organised and efficient, which aided in a smoother transfer during a turbulent time. We appreciate that they get information to us on time, and always give notice if there are any deadline changes required due to holidays.
I hope they remain a long-standing payroll client, and we can continue to work together to ensure their employees are paid correctly each and every month with a streamlined process.”
