Understanding key issues

CHALLENGES

Supporting Financial wellbeing

This will continue to emerge as an important concern for payroll teams this year. As so many people have been affected financially recently, it will be time for business to do more for their employee. It is estimated that employee financial problems cost businesses 4% of productivity.

Continuously changing pay

The introduction and extension of furlough, workforce reductions and changes in working patterns all mean that getting the payroll right first time is becoming increasingly difficult. With the roadmap out of lockdown confirmed, payroll teams will have to quickly get on top of shifting payroll landscapes once again.

Clunky software that slows you down

With increasing changes and competing demands, payroll teams can be held back by solutions that take more time to operate than they save. Our payroll solution is designed to be as intuitive as possible; helping you focus your attention on the things that matter.
