Every Leadership Team Should Be Talking About Payroll

Payroll is the largest expense for every company, but leadership teams often leave payroll out of the conversation when talking about business growth or new plans. How can the largest expense for a company be so easily neglected? Many leadership teams believe that payroll is just “part of doing business” but don’t think about the consequences of letting payroll get lost in daily operations.

When it comes to growing a business, the team you have leading the path is vital to the success of the organisation. As the company grows, the payroll budget expands and can quickly become unmanageable for one person or team. Determining the best solutions for scalability when it comes to payroll is the only way to grow while not sacrificing compliance or resources.

Payroll technology offers companies many benefits including self-service portals for employees to make their own changes to personal details, customised reporting so leadership can stay ahead of costs and view trends in real-time, and direct filing with HMRC so the payroll team does not have to spend valuable time managing that process. Making sure your payroll technology integrates with other company functions including HR and time management also helps reduce manual processes and ensures accuracy.
