Public Consultation EventsThe way Day Opportunities are provided in Herefordshire is going to change. We need you to get involved and give us your views to mak sure we provide you with the right services in Herefordshire. Herefordshire's current day services funded by adult social care are very traditional, may not provide sufficient choices for people or the most appropriate support to gain maximum independence. As a response to this, Herefordshire Council is considering 5 models of good practice, identified from other comparable authorities, to look at meeting the needs of Herefordshire's older population. We need to hear as many views as we can about these models so we are setting up a public consultation event in an area close to you. Please see the Dates and Venues on the right or contact Mary-Jane Muir at the HCIL Office for further details | 01432-353-397 |

The Payroll ServiceAs well as offering a Payroll Service to our Service Users who are in receipt of a Direct Payment, Herefordshire Centre of Independent Living also offers a service to Voluntary Sector Organisations. We are a professional, efficient and friendly team with over 40 years' payroll experience and
Many voluntary sector organisations feel vulnerable and are not confident about whether they comply with ever changing UK statutory payroll legislation and year end requirements. Our costs vary depending on the level of service required - however a typical example for an organisation with 7 salaried employees would be as follows:
This is a costing of £15.58 per month for budget purposes ** then £2.50 per additional employee |
