Understands school pay rules

Term-time contracts, pay spine steps, and backdated pay adjustments run automatically, so recalculations are ready for payroll without manual spreadsheet work.

Ready for inspection, always

The Single Central Record updates itself continuously, flagging missing or expiring checks and keeping an audit-ready file inspectors can review at any point.

Catch absence trends early

Colour-coded dashboards surface rising absence patterns in real time, giving leaders the chance to step in and support staff before costs climb.

FAQs

What does Every HR by IRIS do?

Every HR is HR software for UK schools and multi-academy trusts. It manages staff records, absence, compliance, recruitment, and pay in one system built for education.

 

How does Every HR cut down on admin?

It connects HR, absence, compliance, and payroll, so updates made in one place carry through automatically. SCR checks, absence tracking, and payroll data entry no longer need doing twice.

 

What is a Single Central Record?

It’s the record schools use to log safeguarding checks on staff. Every HR keeps it current on its own, flagging any check that’s missing or due to expire.

 

Does Every HR link to payroll?

Yes. Every HR connects with Every Payroll Services, helping starters, contract changes, absences, and leavers flow through to payroll without re-entering the same information.

 

Will Every HR work for a single school or a whole trust?

Both. A single school gets the full system, and a MAT gets additional trust-wide controls on top.
