My experience is that you have to have a Zoom Account to be able to participate in a second interview with this organisation otherwise they cancel the interview.

This company fails on numerous occasions to pay the Personnal Assistants that it gets paid to do and never answers or returns calls.
Trustpilot
Unhelpful, no support, paperwork goes missing and staff can be very rude. No use to someone with learning difficulties. Disgraceful and money hasn't been paid although they've received it from the council AVOID

I think this could now be the worst organisation I have ever dealt with: worse even than "Very" who I reviewed back in 2014. I have given Penderels a one star rating only because there is no option for zero stars.I have used Penderels Trust for six and a half years to help manage an account funded under the The National Health Service (Direct Payments) Regulations to support my disabled wife before she sadly passed away from Multiple Sclerosis. I can forgive them for the mistakes that they made but not for their unwillingness to follow my instructions on important matters such as pay reviews; or for returning a large quantity of the money I am responsible for managing to the CCG without even bothering to consult me. Instead of making life easier for my wife and me, Penderels Trust have proved to be an extra problem to be battled with. They seem to see themselves as an enemy to oppose your every decision rather than as a friend to hold your hand.If you need assistance in managing a personal health budget, I strongly recommend against using Penderels Trust. Instead, I would sugest just using a friendly local accountant to handle the payroll for employees.

My interviewing managers forgot we had an interview so they had to schedule me in last of all interviewees so I was at a disadvantage. Couldn’t get a hold of the office or team on their displayed number using the lines turned out no one was in on a Wednesday or Thursday which is very strange. Eventually went through the interview process just to be told the next day at closing hour that I did not get a job without any feedback.

I have been forced by my local authority to make use of this organisation to provide payroll services for my disabled daughter’s direct payments scheme. They are incredibly inept, change long standing existing conditions without consultation, are impossible to contact via telephone and reluctant to respond to complaints via email. My consistently poor experience with them has been going on for years now.Lately, they required that timesheets for our Christmas payroll be submitted one week ahead of normal schedule for what is, for most, a normal working period. They then failed to deliver pay slips in time for me to make correct payments to our staff by their due payment date at Christmas. (Care staff paid at minimum wage and are not known for having a great deal of spare cash available.) Their solution for this ineptitude is for me, an aging and overworked parent/carer of a profoundly disabled young adult, to run a roughly estimated payroll for my staff and then run another one once they get their act together and deliver what they are being paid to do. i.e. I do more to compensate for their failings! I am getting rid of this dreadful organisation no matter what my local authority say. I’ll personally pay any fees necessary to use another payroll agency because free time with my daughter is extremely precious and, at my age, every second I waste pursuing these people to do what they are being paid for is lost to us forever. They have no empathy with the needs and challenges faced by disabled people and their carers whatsoever. My advice to anybody reading this is don’t touch this crowd with a barge pole if you have any say at all in the matter.
Trustpilot
AVOID. No end of trouble with them. Can’t pay our staff over CHRISTMAS and no way of contacting them - they NEVER answer or reply to voicemails left

I have experienced numerous issues with this business. Their service, communication and attitude is disgusting and extremely unprofessional. If I had contracted with them myself I would hold them in breach of contract several times over. Unfortunately I have to use them due to their contract with Essex County Council. Despite passing the employee & employers forms to this business on time, their payroll did not bother requesting the HMRC code until a month later. This HMRC is required for the PA to be added to payroll and then paid correctly. This meant my PA did not get her full pay, then once the HMRC code was received they decide not to pay her at all despite my timesheet being submitted correctly and receiving confirmation of said timesheet.They also gave my PA the option of being paid 4 weeks or monthly. The PA chose 4 weekly, but over a month and a half later and only 2 weeks payment (- 30% of that pay) provided, they finally admit this was a mistake and they only pay PA's monthly.They do not reply to emails, they do not answer their phone. If you are an authority thinking of using Penderels, do your residents a favour, don't. If you are anyone else thinking of using them, don't. Basically avoid at all costs. I will be looking into my legal options and have made a request to Essex CC for me to take control of my own direct payments.
