Process Improvements for Payroll

On a scale of 1 to 10, how well is your payroll process running each month? If the answer is anything less than 10, there are many simple improvements you can make to ensure payroll is easy to manage, compliant with regulations, and on-time for your employees.

Resources are often a problem when it comes to payroll. Teams are facing more complicated requirements, HMRC is making changes to furlough and sick pay policies, and compliance is more difficult to achieve without extensive research and expertise. Reducing the use of paperwork, spreadsheets, and manual processes is the key to simplifying your payroll each month.

Using payroll technology sounds easy, but what happens if your team encounters issues running payroll? It is important to use technology that also offers a human interaction – it doesn’t help your team unless you can call someone when a question comes up. So how can you find the right software and service all in one place?

Integration is another important factor when selecting a payroll software. If you can integrate your employee data for payroll and HR on one platform, it reduces paperwork, redundant processes, and provides an extra layer of security for your employee data. Using payroll and HR software together also offers your payroll and HR teams cusomised reporting that can spot trends, identify areas for improvement, and encourage teams to make changes when needed.

As payroll gets more complicated each month and employees are not working in the office, now is the time to make process improvements that will help the company flourish once operations are back to “normal” and everyone is working together again.
