Priority Payroll Solutions

How to instantly increase your take-home pay by working with Classroom…

Classroom Limited and Priority Payroll Solutions Limited work in partnership to provide you with an easy way to maximise your weekly pay.

How does it work?
PPS pay contract workers, supply teachers and nursery workers every week as an ‘Umbrella Company’. This allows workers who are based temporarily at a site to offset legitimate work-related expenses against their income.

They provide the same statutory entitlements as the PAYE (Pay as you Earn) process which is the standard system in the UK for taxation of employees. The primary difference is that you are able to offset work-related expenses against your income giving you the opportunity to increase your take-home pay.

Offsetting means that your expenses are treated as tax and NI (National Insurance) free amounts. They are excluded from your income amount which is subject to tax and NI.

How much will I benefit?
Depending on your salary and the likely expenses you might incur, you could increase your income anywhere from £9.53 per week to £108.27 per week.

If you work all 39 weeks of the teaching calendar, you could be taking home an additional amount of between £371.67 to £4222.53 per annum!  

So – where’s the catch?
There isn’t one!  A small administration fee is charge for using the service (4.5% of your earnings up to £21.00 per week).  Even after the fee is deducted the benefits still apply and Classroom Teachers GUARANTEE you will take home more money than the traditional PAYE method directly through the recruitment agency.  

What type of expenses can I claim?
Some of the typical expenses which can be claimed are Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and Mileage and if you use your home as an office base, you can claim for some heat, lighting, telephone and broadband costs. In addition, and with the inclusion of a receipt, you could also submit travel costs, relevant memberships and subscriptions, training or even some books or publications if they are required for the role.

Do I need to complete lots of complicated forms?
There is a simple form to complete as part of your registration with Classroom. A PPS expert will call you to make sure you are clear and happy with the process and help you to complete the forms.
