Payroll Support Service

Service
GP Care has teamed up with Healthpay, an experienced and flexible payroll services provider, to deliver a new payroll service that is only available to GP Care members. The service is high quality and is inexpensive on account of minimal overhead/infrastructure costs and good use of technology. This provides GP Care members with a real opportunity to make cost savings. To discuss how our Payroll Support Service could help you please call us on 0845 625 2104.
