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 which should provide GP Care members with an opportunity to make cost savings. To discuss how our Payroll Support Service could help you please call us on 0845 625 2105.
