OPENPEOPLE
In a world of increasing complexity, businesses shouldn't have to sweat the small stuff. With OpenPeople, payroll can be efficient, accurate and hassle-free.
It means that, even with the annual legislation changes and ever increasing employee expectations and demands, Payroll teams can process pay as seamlessly as possible. Our tools allow you to automate payroll processes and easily access real-time data reports in no time.
CHALLENGES
With annual changes to payroll legislation, teams often spend too much time ensuring their processes are compliant.
Getting payroll right first time is business critical. A lot of teams have ageing technology that can be prone to mistakes, so they have to spend time ensuring accuracy is maintained.
Creating accurate tax calculations in payslips is not an easy job. Regular updates are required to ensure that employees’ salaries are taxed correctly. Incorrect tax calculations can lead to penalties, inconvenience and additional work.
Payroll data is sensitive data, so ensuring this is secure in a world of increasing cyber attacks is vital.
Many Payroll teams still use systems that rely heavily on paper and spreadsheets. This leads to wasted time, inaccuracies and data headaches.
The workplace is changing, with flexible, part-time and home working. Getting payroll correct is more complex than ever.
