Payroll Excellence - download study now

Our "Payroll Excellence" study shows how companies are making their payroll accounting fit for current challenges. In a dynamic environment with diverse regulations and requirements, payroll must always be correct, legally compliant and punctual. The study shows payroll best practices and provides practical recommendations.

Key findings:

• Employee satisfaction through error-free payroll: Punctual and correct salary payments are crucial for employee trust. Discrepancies in payroll often lead to complaints and can damage the employer's image.
• Strategic role of payroll: Payroll is more than just payroll - it provides essential data for financial planning, HR decisions and ESG reporting (e.g. for equal pay analyses).
• Optimise the use of technology in a targeted manner: Introducing cloud-based payroll systems or automation solutions can increase process efficiency and compliance. However, companies should find a balance between automation and control to ensure data security and transparency.
• Securing knowledge in payroll: Payroll departments face challenges such as skills shortages and system migrations (e.g. SAP R/3 HCM → S/4HANA). Companies should specifically secure expertise, e.g. through structured documentation or a payroll academy.
