The HCM partner for Further Education worklife reinvention

The Zellis platform is scalable and adaptable. It addresses the needs of oganisations from 1,000 to 15,000+ employees with ease, managing academic contracts, variable hours, term-time roles, research posts, multiple appointments and a wide range of pension schemes. The platform ensures every scenario is processed accurately and audit-ready.

Yes. Zellis is designed for workforces with highly variable hours and complex contract patterns, which are common in further education. It accurately calculates pay for hourly paid, sessional, zero hours and multi post staff, including term time rules and pension eligibility. Real time calculations and built in validation ensure teaching hours, overtime and ad hoc sessions are captured correctly and paid accurately first time.

FE colleges should look for software that genuinely supports sector specific complexity, not generic HR tools adapted after the fact. Key requirements include reliable handling of multi post roles, variable hours, term time working, TPS and LGPS pensions, strong reporting, and clear audit trails. It should also integrate easily with MIS, finance and identity systems, be cloud based rather than reliant on legacy infrastructure and offer a user experience that works for managers and staff across multiple sites.

All customers are different with their own unique requirements. However, many customers have integrated Zellis in just a few weeks.

Yes. Zellis connects seamlessly with student record systems, timetabling tools, finance systems and other core platforms. This ensures consistent workforce data and reduces manual processing errors.
