We might not be able to make payroll a fountain of positive employee experiences, but we can prevent bad experiences. And that is worthwhile. Here are a few things to consider

Many companies do some level of outsourcing in payroll, in whole or a couple processes. And, many companies get surprised in that journey.
Where should Payroll report to in an organization - HR? Finance? It's actually not the right way to look at it - as we explain.
My mantra: Simplify, Standardize, Streamline. All good things to do, I hear clients say, but sometimes we just can’t do that for some things. Don’t take your eye off reducing future complexity.
2020 was challenging - here's what I'm looking at for 2021!
Payroll systems need to be secure, we all know that. But recently some additional security requirements have been issued by Nacha - the group that governs electronic payments in the US - for companies originating more than 6 million ACH payments annually. Companies need to be compliant by June 30, 2021. Companies with 2 million or more ACH payments annually need to be compliant by June 30, 2022. The basic concept of the regulation is that bank account numbers at rest must be unreadable.

I've started a new podcast with friend and colleague Nina Scott of Omnia Global Partners called Payroll Insights.
How do you justify replacing your on-premise SAP Payroll? We all know it has a limited lifetime, but no one has ever been excited about the cost of replacing payroll. Although it is strategically important (if you don’t pay people in a compliant way, bad things happen), it doesn’t lead to any strategic advantage. And since payroll departments keep getting payroll done, correctly and on time, why spend money for a new system that lets you continue to get payroll done, correctly and on time?

And it made me think about integration through the years. Integration has always been a central issue and challenge in working with administrative IT systems.
