Current Situation
The payroll landscape, once marked by paper-based pay slips, very aggregated pay calculations, and fixed payment cycles, has in many cases turned into a source of employee dissatisfaction. Employees appreciate digital and secure pay slips, personalization and analytical options, detailed specifications, and options such as real-time payments, but such features are rarely offered by employers.
Goals and Objectives
Goals:
Improve the payroll-related employee experience.
Note that for employees with very stable monthly salaries, impact on experience is limited, but for those that are hourly paid, have complex compensation and wage supplements, have variable working time, and so forth, such features are valuable.
Strategies:
Evaluate the organization’s exposure to risk and compliance practice across employee classifications, geographies, and work types. Diversify payroll engagements to segment according to the organizational workforce’s unique requirements.
